Health Benefits of Keto Sausage Gravy

Low-Carb and High-Fat

Many gravy recipes come with sneaky sources of hidden carbs. With this ketogenic sausage gravy, however, you’re only getting two grams of carbs per serving. What’s more, there’s an abundance of healthy fats packed into each serving — 34 grams in fact, making this recipe as satisfying as it is delicious.

Gluten-Free

Another hidden ingredient you’ll often find in gravy recipes is all-purpose flour for thickening. This recipe skips the flour (and the gluten) altogether and opts instead for arrowroot powder. Arrowroot not only acts as an excellent thickener, but it is also a resistant starch that adds fiber[*].

How Do You Serve Keto Sausage Gravy?

This keto sausage gravy can be served as a meal all on its own. However, there are many ways to enjoy this recipe, including:

  • Serve with low-carb biscuits for keto biscuits and gravy
  • Mixed into some scrambled eggs for a keto breakfast option
  • As a topping to keto waffles or chaffles

How Do You Thicken Keto Sausage Gravy?

Traditionally, gravy is thickened with ingredients like milk and flour. In this keto version, however, you’ll be skipping the flour and opting for alternative thickening ingredients. This recipe calls for arrowroot, but you can also try using xanthan gum or almond flour if you have some on hand.

Alternatively, if you don’t want to add either arrowroot or xanthan gum, you can simply reduce the gravy over heat. Fair warning — this method will take a bit more time.
