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 ½-3 cups almond milk
- 4 medium russet potatoes diced and pan fried
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.

We just made this today - day three of our Whole30 adventure as a couple. This was phenomenal! I do have to admit that I may have added some additional salt here and there, along with pepper and garlic powder, but we are easing our way into this. I'm not much of a cook so I was pretty excited with how easy it was and how well it came out. Both my husband and I were very satisfied by this meal, both in taste and fullness. We will be making again!

Hi Julie- thanks for making it and I'm so glad you like it. I'm so glad you added seasonings to taste- that is important for any recipe. So glad you'll be making it again 🙂

Can you use Arrowroot in place of tapioca powder?
Jessica DeMay says
Hi Jordan- yes, that will work. Enjoy!
Rochelle says
We have a nut allergy, would rice milk work?
Jessica DeMay says
Hi Rochelle- yes, definitely! If you need to keep it Whole30 then use coconut milk. I hope you enjoy!

Wow so good and came together so quick with hardly no ingredients! This is a great meal to serve when short on time. I cheated and didn't do my own potatoes, I used shredded hash browns instead.

Delicious!!!! I look forward to having this over and over again. I did add a little crushed pepper for spice. Over all great recipe without so much guilt of traditional sausage and gravy. Thank you
