Ingredients:
For the Keto Biscuits:
- 2 cups almond flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 2 large eggs
- 1/4 cup shredded cheese (optional for extra flavor)
For the Sausage Gravy:
- 1 pound breakfast sausage (Italian or your favorite type)
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup chicken or beef broth
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley or chives for garnish (optional)
Instructions:
1. Make the Biscuits:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a mixing bowl, combine almond flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the melted butter and eggs until well combined.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until a dough forms. If using cheese, fold it in at this point.
- Scoop the dough onto a parchment-lined baking sheet, forming 8-10 biscuits.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown on top.
2. Prepare the Sausage Gravy:
- In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the breakfast sausage until browned and crumbly. Drain excess fat if necessary.
- Add garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper to the sausage, stirring well to combine.
- Pour in the heavy cream and broth, stirring continuously until the mixture thickens, about 5-7 minutes. Adjust seasoning to taste.
3. Serve:
- Split the warm biscuits in half and ladle the sausage gravy generously over the top.
- Garnish with fresh parsley or chives if desired.
