How to Make Biscuits & Gravy in an Air Fryer
Cris here.
When we RV, I regularly make my family biscuits and gravy. But considering my camper oven is a total pain, I usually have to make my gravy on the stove and then make some biscuits in my air fryer. But that takes up a lot of real estate in my tiny little kitchen. So, since I test a lot of recipes for the camper when we are at home, I stared wondering if I could make it all in the air fryer at once. After 3 colossal fails I finally figured out the perfect biscuit to gravy ratio AND the method that I absolutely love for getting the biscuits buttery golden and the gravy bubbling hot.
Air Fryer Biscuits & Gravy (Low Carb) Notes:
- We like to use the barrel pans to make this dish.
- You can make this dish in a traditional air fryer OR Ninja Foodi using the air crisp feature.
- CarbQuick is the mix we use to make the biscuit topping low carb.
- If you are not eating low carb, you can use your own prepared biscuit mix or dough. Just make sure to crumble it on top and not in full biscuit form.
- We use Xanthan Gum to thicken sauces and gravies in low carb cooking. You can leave it out in many cases, but the gravy may be thin.
- Looking for more recipes? Our Recipe Finder can help you find exactly what you need.
- Check out all our favorite recommendations for cookbooks, slow cookers and low carb essentials in our Amazon Influencer Shop.
- As with any of our recipes, carb counts, calorie counts and nutritional information varies greatly. As a result, your nutritional content depends on which products you choose to use when cooking this dish. The auto-calculation is just an automated estimate and should NOT be used for specific dietary needs.
- All air fryers cook differently, so cooking times are always a basic guideline. Recipes should always be tested first in your own unit and time adjusted as needed.

Ingredients
Gravy Ingredients
- 1 lb ground breakfast sausage browned & drained
- 4 oz cream cheese melted (30 seconds in microwave)
- 1/2 cup water
- 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon xanthan gum
- salt and pepper to taste
Biscuit Topping Ingredients
- 2 cups Carb Quick
- 1/4 cup butter cubed
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 cup heavy whipping cream
- 1/4 cup water
Instructions
- Mix gravy ingredients together in a bowl and transfer to an air fryer safe pan. We use our barrel pans.
- Prepare biscuit topping by first working butter into CarbQuick until crumbly.
- Add remaining ingredients and mix well until a dough forms.
- If dough is too crumbly, add a little more water, a tablespoon at a time, until dough holds together
- Break dough into small pieces and cover gravy mixture completely with biscuit pieces, layering on top of other pieces until all dough is in the pan.
- Air fry or Air Crisp at 350 for 15 minutes and check to see if done. Gravy should be bubbling and biscuit topping should be golden.

That’s awesome Stephanie! I’m so glad you and your husband enjoyed it! Thank you for taking the time to let us know. It really makes our day!
I have sever back problems so would it be okay for me to use parchment paper in my air dryer. I’ve tried it once but I’d like your oponion
Where do I get the carb quick?
Hi Pam-
The blue text in the post links to where we have purchased it on Amazon. Here is a referral link: https://amzn.to/2ZyMSoL Enjoy!
I have my CarbQuik, I have my sausage and ingredients and just waiting for my pan to arrive next week! I am so excited to try this recipe!
Hi Kelly!
I am so excited for you! I actually had it for breakfast again this morning. SO YUMMY!
The nutrition facts states 42g carbs. Is that correct? It seems really high. Maybe it should be 4.2g?
Hi Michelle-
It is 42g, however, 35g of that is fiber ( Carbquick is primarily fiber). So the recipe is 7g NET carbs using the auto-calculation. We ALWAYS recommend figuring your own nutritional info with the exact ingredients you use at home. Hope that clears things up. Enjoy!
My husband loves biscuits and gravy, so I will be trying this recipe. Just one question, I see that it serves 6. What is the serving size? Looking forward to hearing from you. Thank you.Jean
Hi Jean-
I just cut it into 6 portions and serve. I then store the leftovers in serving size container to grab and reheat. Hope that helps!
This looks amazing for my type 2 hubby, I am trying to find recipes to help him cope with his new life style. He is doing so well. My “Instant pot” (Mine is a Mueller brand) but no Air Frier feature. I have Carbquick, how can I make this without an air fryer?
Hi Paula-
Several folks have asked me to convert this to use other methods. I will get in the kitchen and work on some adaptations for you guys. I want to test it before making recommendations because I don’t want to tell you guys wrong and have you waste those ingredients.
Biscuits and gravy, a great southern breakfast!! I like breaking my biscuits up in little bites and slather with gravy…pour it on!! Looks delicious!!
I’m totally a biscuit breaker too, Kim!
I cannot wait to take this recipe camping!
Looking forward to the next adventures of the GOODe family!!
