Best served piping hot, this recipe is AMAZING, y'all. It's something that I've been wanting to include on the blog for a long time, but didn't want to bring to you until it was perfect.

Growing up in southern Missouri, SPRINGFIELD STAND UP, biscuits and gravy was everywhere. I think it's fair to say it's something that's often on the breakfast table.

Funny story, though...when Joe and I met, him being from Minnesota, he had never even HEARD of biscuits and gravy. We went to a midnight breakfast in college and he stared at the vats with a "What the heck is that?" look on his face.

Shortly after he fell in love with me, he fell in love with biscuits and gravy.... Actually, come to think of it, I'm not sure which came first!

Anyway, before I started keto, I had a fantastic recipe for this stuff that I made pretty frequently. Unfortunately, like my of my diet at the time...it was LOADED with carbs.

One of the best low carb feelings for me is the understanding that all of those extra carbs from yesteryear were completely and totally unnecessary.

And this recipe is easier, quicker, and even more delicious!

Ingredients

Biscuits

• 3 cups finely ground almond flour
• 1 Tablespoon baking powder
• ¼ Teaspoon xanthan gum

• ¼ Teaspoon salt
• 6 Tablespoons butter, softened

Breakfast Sausage Gravy

For the breakfast sausage gravy
