INGREDIENTS

FOR THE BISCUITS

1⁄2 cup coconut flour
1⁄2 cup almond flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1⁄2 teaspoon onion powder
1⁄2 teaspoon salt
1⁄2 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
1/4 cup butter, melted 4 eggs
3/4 cup sour cream

FOR THE SAUSAGE GRAVY

1 pound ground breakfast sausage
1 teaspoon minced garlic
1 tablespoon almond flour
11⁄2 cups unsweetened almond milk
1⁄2 cup heavy (whipping) cream
11⁄2 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper
1⁄2 teaspoon salt

To make the biscuits

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F degrees.
2. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
3. In a large bowl, combine the coconut flour, almond flour, baking powder, garlic powder, onion powder, and salt. Slowly incorporate the Cheddar cheese.
4. In the center of the dry ingredients, create a well for adding the wet ingredients.
5. Into this well, add the melted butter, eggs, and sour cream. Fold together until a dough forms.
6. Use a spoon to drop biscuits onto the prepared baking sheet, placing them 1 inch apart.
7. Bake the biscuits for 20 minutes, or until firm and lightly browned.

To make the sausage gravy

1. Heat a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the ground sausage, breaking it up with spoon and browning it on all sides.
2. Once the sausage browns, add the minced garlic. Cook for 1 minute.
3. Once the garlic is fragrant, sprinkle in the almond flour. Reduce the heat to medium-low. Allow the almond flour to incorporate with the grease to develop a light roux, stirring constantly, about 5 minutes.
4. Slowly add the almond milk to the roux, stirring constantly.
5. Add the heavy cream. Increase the temperature to medium-high, stirring and reducing the mixture for 3 minutes.
6. Reduce the heat to medium-low. Add the pepper and salt. Stir for 1 minute to incorporate.
7. Check the biscuits and remove the baking sheet from the oven when ready. Cool the biscuits for 5 minutes.
8. Reduce the heat again under the sausage gravy to low. Simmer while the biscuits cool.
9. Once the biscuits are cool, plate 1 biscuit per person and top with ⅓ cup of gravy.
