Biscuits and gravy is a classic Southern comfort food that is typically made with white flour biscuits and a sausage gravy. However, this recipe is a healthier take on the classic dish, using almond flour and coconut flour to make the biscuits and a gravy made with heavy cream, chicken broth, and cornstarch. The result is a delicious and satisfying meal that is also low in carbs and gluten-free.

Why It Works
Almond flour and coconut flour are both gluten-free flours that are high in fiber and low in carbs. This makes them a good choice for people who are on a ketogenic diet or who are looking to reduce their carb intake.
The combination of almond flour and coconut flour gives the biscuits a light and fluffy texture. The almond flour provides a nutty flavor, while the coconut flour adds a slightly sweet flavor.
The gravy is made with heavy cream, chicken broth, and cornstarch. The heavy cream gives the gravy a rich and creamy texture, while the chicken broth adds flavor. The cornstarch thickens the gravy and gives it a smooth consistency.
