Growing up, Biscuits & Gravy were a staple. Not only did my mom make it regularly on the weekend but it was the MOST popular menu item at a local diner I worked at in high school. It’s the ultimate comfort food. And most importantly, one of my grandpa’s FAVORITE breakfasts, so it will always hold a special place in my heart!
While I’ve always been sensitive to dairy, I never chose to eliminate it (almost fully), until a few years ago. Country Gravy is too good to let go of completely, I wanted to make it more regularly vs just allowing myself to indulge every now and then so I had to come up with a recipe that fit the bill.
Not only is gravy full of milk, but also it typically consists of refined flour. IN creating this recipe I eliminated both the dairy AND the gluten. Plus I’m a sucker for any type of breakfast potatoes so crispy stacks seemed like the perfect replacement for biscuits. You could definitely also sub Gluten Free Biscuits as a great alternative!
This recipe doesn’t have to be just a weekend treat. Meal prep this recipe in advance & enjoy it all week long! Pack single servings into microwave save containers, and grab & go each morning for a delicious breakfast!
