We’re gonna make some simple almond flour and shredded cheddar cheese biscuits, and then follow it up with a mouth-watering sausage and sage gravy. YUM!
Buttery fluffy biscuits… Oh my!
The star of this show, in my opinion, were these fluffy cheddar biscuits! WOW! Plus, they were so quick and easy to make and require just one bowl. Mix up the ingredients and drop them on a parchment paper covered cookie sheet, or use a silicone mat as I do. So EASY!
While the biscuits are baking, make the gravy!
The key to a thickened gravy, adding cream cheese and also xanthan gum, a common way to thicken keto-friendly sauces and recipes.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper or use a silicone mat like I did.

Make biscuits as follows: In a medium-sized bowl, mix almond flour, baking powder, salt, and pepper. Cut in butter with a pastry cutter or masher, until mixture is like sand. Stir in eggs and fold in cheese. Combine until it forms a sticky dough.

My husband is super excited about this recipe! Looks delicious. Thanks!
Great! I think you’ll enjoy ? thanks for stopping by today!
This is breakfast for hubby and grandson. Will make biscuits today and gravy in the morning. Looks exactly like w h.g.h at the go out to eat on weekends.
Yes my hubby loves B & G’a also! Enjoy ?
Just made the biscuits to go with a soup we are having for dinner. Wanted to try the biscuits first, just so I would know what to expect in time and taste. I actually got 8 biscuits out of the mix. After trying one, I know they will be perfect for the gravy, but on its own needs a little bit of sweetener and maybe a pinch of garlic. With salted butter it was okay. So I think I will be saving them for the morning and just make what is originally intended for. Overall excellent, it did not take long to prep at all!
Perfect! Thanks so much for your thoughts on this. ???
Had the biscuits with the gravy recipe and OMG, my man loved it! Biscuits and gravy is his FAVORITE breakfast, so if it pleased him, you know its a winner! I have only ate biscuits and gravy 4 times in my life, so I really had nothing to compare to, but it was delicious and so filling I skipped lunch! I added a little bit of chicken broth because I (oops????) added to much xantham gum and needed to “gravy” it ??, but it was still delicious (I actually tasted it a bit while it simmered, really no difference, was really happy about that)!
Thanks for sharing! That’s wonderful Margarita!
YUM! Thank you. Made breakfast for dinner. We all loved it!
Oh yay I’m so glad Nichole!
Would almond flour work instead of the xanthan gum, reason I’m asking is to save on the money? Don’t see much of a use for that other than this?
Yes! That would work, however it may not come out as thick.
