I know it’s rude to talk with your mouth full, and greasy fingers aren’t so great for my keyboard, but I just had to share this delicious recipe with you for low carb sausage biscuits! 😀
It’s super easy. This is the same base recipe I use to make low carb garlic cheese bread, hearty low carb “leftovers” biscuits, and low carb cookies.
It’s a very versatile base “dough”, with tons of variations possible. You can get creative with it. It’s very forgiving. I use Bob’s Red Mill Almond Meal/Flour, which I order online from Netrition.
It only takes about 10 minutes to whip up and toss in the oven. The “dough” keeps well in the refrigerator if you want to cook a few fresh at a time, but the biscuits keep well too so I tend to cook plenty so I have something to “grab and go” on hand.
As you can see, they are “crisp” on the outside and “fluffy” on the inside.
You can try different variations or use different cheeses. I’ve tried Cheddar or Colby Jack shredded cheeses (mixed half/half with the Parmesan) in the recipe for example, which was delicious too!
How To Make Low Carb Sausage Biscuits:
This is considered a “half batch” so you can easily halve it again for a smaller batch, or double it for a larger batch.
As is, this recipe makes 8 biscuits which are 1.3 net carbs each (per biscuit), or 4 net carbs for 3 biscuits.
Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup Bob’s Red Mill Almond Meal/Flour
- 2 Large Eggs
- 1 TBSP Real Butter, Melted
- 8oz raw Jimmy Dean Sausage (half a tube)
- 6oz Bag Finely Shredded Parmesan Cheese
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Line a baking sheet with Parchment Paper.
Directions: Melt the TBSP of butter in the microwave, stir the two eggs together, and combine all of the ingredients in a large bowl.
Note: Now is a good time to preheat your oven to 350 degrees and place parchment paper on a baking sheet. Your hands will be too icky in a second. 😛
I mix all the ingredients together with my hands, similar to the way you would make a meatloaf: by kneading all the ingredients through your fingers until the ingredients are evenly mixed. Yes it’s cold and squishy, lol.
Patty out the dough into “biscuits” and place them on a parchment paper lined baking sheet. I just grab “a palm size” of the mixture and shape it with my hands:
This recipe made 8 low carb sausage biscuits.
Bake at 350 degrees until done, with a nice browned crisp texture on the outside. They may take 10-20 minutes to cook, or a little longer.
Just keep an eye on them, flip them halfway through to brown on both sides, and take them out when they are done and browned to your liking.
Note: They will be “greasy”. Remove from baking sheet and place on a paper towel to soak up any excess grease.
Here’s a close up of the yummy bread-like texture:
This will give you an idea of the size of these biscuits:
They are VERY filling! 🙂
Obviously you can make them as large or small as you please, but you’ll want to adjust your servings and/or any variation to your ingredients when you add the recipe into your MyFitnessPal Recipe Calculator to log your biscuits.
Here’s how mine came out in MyFitnessPal for three biscuits:
It came out to 4 net carbs for 3 biscuits and 75% fat, 23% protein and 2% carbs – which are perfect Low Carb High Fat Macros!

As you can see they are very low carb, high fat, and a good source of protein. Great for a quick, easy meal or snack on the low carb diet! They’re hearty, and very filling.
They are also gluten free. 😉
I’ve tried them with crumbled sausage I had already cooked. I used the same recipe except I used 1 cup (dry measure) of cooked sausage crumbles. They turned out very nice too. Like I said, this recipe is very versatile!
They’re great as is, or you can top them with a dab of cream cheese. I always liked “moosetracks” (sausage biscuits with jelly), so I put just a little smear of Sugar Free Mountain Berry Preserves on mine sometimes. Delicious! 😀
