Thicken With Xanthan Gum
One of the best things about this sausage gravy is that you’ll thicken it with xanthan gum. This is fantastic news for anyone who has a nut allergy and can’t eat almond flour.
If you don’t think the gravy is thick enough, add a pinch more xanthan gum to it. It doesn’t take much to thicken the gravy, so be careful.
Make It Ahead
Make the gravy ahead of time and store it in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to three days. Then, all you have to do is heat it up in the microwave, toast your bread and breakfast is ready!
Make It Spicy
Adding hot sauce and red pepper flakes are carb-free ways to make sausage gravy taste even better. Make this gravy as spicy or as mild as you like it.
Ingredients
In addition to some water, you’ll also be using the following ingredients to make this tasty sausage gravy. All the exact amounts are in the printable recipe card at the bottom of the post.
- Ground Breakfast Sausage: Read the ingredients label and make sure you’re buying a flavor that doesn’t have extra sugar in it.
- Heavy Whipping Cream: If you are lactose intolerant, you can use coconut cream instead – just make sure you use full-fat cream.

- Salt: Salt enhances all the other flavors.
- Pepper: Spice up the gravy with more pepper, or even add some red pepper flakes.
