    This biscuits and gravy recipe is super low in calories and very Weight Watcher Friendly. Breakfast is one of my most favorite meals of the day. I love bacon, eggs, hash browns, biscuits, and gravy...you name it. I know biscuits and gravy is a Southern menu item and I live in the North. Whenever I go to a restaurant for breakfast, I'll always look to see if there is biscuits and gravy on the menu and I'll order that.  This biscuits and gravy recipe is so good.

    Why You Will Love This Recipe

    One serving of this biscuits and gravy has 26 grams of protein. That's 1 biscuit and ¼ cup of gravy.

    The biscuits were made with the famous 2 ingredient Dough and the recipe made about 8 biscuits. If you don't like your biscuits really tiny and thin, then just roll them out thicker. Please note, the points value will be different then. Just use your recipe builder to figure out points.

    If you are dairy free, use regular almond milk and a dairy free greek yogurt like Daiya.

    Ingredients Needed

    Ingredients needed for biscuits and gravy.

    For the Gravy:

    • Light butter or margarine - Such as I Can't Believe it's Not Butter - Helps keep the calories low.
    • Jimmy Dean Turkey Sausage Crumbles - I like these because they are pretty low in points.
    • Flour - for thickening the gravy
    • Milk - Dairy does not like me at all so I go for a lactose free milk such as Fairlife. It also has more protein in it.
    • Black pepper-
    • Onion powder is dehydrated, ground onion that is commonly used as a seasoning. Some people do not like the taste of freshly chopped onion so onion powder is a great substitute if you have a picky eater like that in your house. 

    For the Biscuits: 

    • Non fat plain greek yogurt - is considered great for a variety of reasons. It is typically higher in protein and lower in sugar than regular yogurt, making it a good choice for those looking to maintain a balanced diet.
    • Self-rising flour is a type of flour that already contains baking powder and salt, which are essential ingredients in many baked 
    • See the recipe card below for a full list of ingredients and measurements.

    How to Make Biscuits and Gravy

    Step 1: In a bowl, mix the flour and greek yogurt together until a ball of dough forms. Place the dough onto a floured workspace on your countertop and need the dough.

    Step 2: Using a biscuit cutter, cut out 8 equal biscuits and place them on a sheet pan. Bake at 400 degrees for 15 to 20 minutes or until the tops are golden brown.

    Recipe Tip: If you don't have a biscuit cutter just cut the dough into 4 equal portions using a bench cutter or knife.

    Step 3: While the biscuits are baking in the oven, make the gravy. In a medium nonstick skillet, melt the butter. Add the already cooked sausage to the pan and stir until the sausage is warmed up. Add in the flour and whisk for 1 to 2 minutes or until the flour has completely dissolved. Next, add the 2 cups of milk and bring to a simmer and add the spices.

    Recipe Tip: The sauce will be ready when you can run your finger along the back of the spoon and it leaves a clear lining.

    Recipe FAQs

    How do you figure out points for recipes? 

    Nutrition info is calculated with the zero point food included in the recipe. If you’re using the nutrition info to figure out points it might not be the same as what the points are listed in the notes section. I use the recipe builder to calculate points. Myfitness pal for nutrition info. 

    Why am I still getting different points from what you have listed? 

    This could be quite a number of reasons and here are a few that I have come across. 
    Number of servings 
    Different brand used 
    Low-Fat vs Fat-Free ingredients
    Using the nutrition info calculator instead of the recipe builder  

    How to store leftovers?

    Always store leftovers in clean, food-grade containers. The type of container doesn’t really matter. Use zip lock, glass, plastic,  whatever!  Make sure to store any leftovers in an airtight container before putting it in the freezer or fridge.

      Thanks, I wish there was a way to lower the points even more. But at least there's some protein!

      This was really good! Mine came out to 11 points so I probably won’t make it often but I had to cook 16 oz of sausage and I also used 1 tbsp on regular butter because I can’t bring myself to buy margarine. But still healthier than traditional biscuits and gravy!

      Can this be made and then put in the freezer to reheat later?

      Is the point value listed for using almond milk or regular milk.
      Thank you
