This Paleo Whole30 Sausage Gravy is so easy to make and packed with flavor. Creamy, thick, and so delicious! A classic made gluten free and dairy free and just as good!
I’m super excited to share this recipe! It’s been in my brain for a long time and it’s finally good enough to share. My dad taught me how to make sausage gravy when I was pretty young and it became a regular breakfast for us when I stayed with him on the weekends. Of course it contained lots of flour, milk and was served over canned biscuits. This version, on the other hand, is made gluten and dairy free and is just as delicious! A favorite I knew I wanted to makeover and I’m so pleased with the results!
This took 3 times to get just right. I wanted it to be amazing and perfect and that’s what it is. It was too runny the first time, too clumpy the second time and I finally got it right the last time and it’s so delicious! The flavor is spot on to what I remember eating as a child and served over potatoes makes it fun and different than the usual biscuit. Potatoes are always a good idea, especially when they’re crispy and topped with sausage gravy! Yum!
The fact that this is Whole30 seems almost too good to be true. It is pure comfort food! It’s a nice change from eggs and makes a great weekend breakfast. A note about the sausage- just make sure to read the label and make sure there is no added sugar or other questionable ingredients in there. Whole Foods carries a clean version or you can make your own.
You will love, love, love this recipe! It’s filling, comforting, and tastes amazing! If you’re not doing a Whole30 then you can use the Easy Paleo Biscuits as the base.

Paleo Whole30 Sausage Gravy
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground breakfast sausage
- 1 teaspoon dried sage
- 1 teaspoon fennel seed
- 3 tablespoons fat of choice if needed
- 1 tablespoon almond flour
- 2 tablespoons tapioca flour
- 2 1/2-3 cups almond milk

Instructions
- In a large skillet brown breakfast sausage over medium heat. Add the sage and fennel while it’s cooking. Once it’s cooked, transfer it to a plate or bowl.
- Add some fat to the pan if there isn’t already any left from the sausage. You’ll want about 3 tablespoons total. You can use coconut oil, ghee, bacon grease, or whatever your preferred fat is.
- Stir in the almond and tapioca flour and mix it well with the fat- still on medium heat.
- Stir in the milk and cook until sauce has thickened. Use a whisk if necessary.
- Mix the sausage back in and serve immediately over potatoes.

Thanks much for this recipe!! Was getting really tired of eggs for breakfast on whole30. It really thickened up nicely and removing it from the heat and letting it sit a couple of minutes!! Husband even liked it and he isn’t doing whole30!!

Thanks for trying it, Sue and so glad it’s enjoyed!
Karen says
Delicious! I’m allergic to eggs so breakfast is tough for me. This is the perfect weekend meal. I served my husband’s on toast – he’s usually skeptical of Whole30, and he thought it was amazing.

Thanks, Karen!

I am completely obsessed with this sausage gravy. It’s my go to weekend breakfast. Thank you so much for posting this delicious recipe. I do not feel sick after eating this as I always did with “traditional” sausage gravy! My boyfriend loves it too!

Thanks, Jenn! So glad you and your boyfriend love it!

I made this for dinner the other night. My husband and I really enjoyed it. The kids didn’t, but they are picky little kids and it was new. Will likely make it again, subbing with ground pork instead of breakfast sausage or leaving out the additional spices. It was a little too much spice for us.

How do you make the potatoes?
