Dairy free sausage gravy is thick, creamy, and hearty. Paired with fluffy biscuits, it's the ultimate comfort food. Warm up with this classic Southern breakfast dish on a lazy weekend morning.

Dairy free and egg free biscuits and sausage gravy is made from scratch, savory, and ultra comforting! If you grew up with biscuits and gravy on the weekend, this version keeps all the flavor and nostalgia while skipping the milk, butter, and eggs. It's perfect for a slow Sunday brunch or when you're craving breakfast for dinner.
Don't be afraid to make this dish your own! Add a pinch of smoked paprika, garlic powder, or a little cayenne for some heat. For a richer gravy, stir in a splash of dairy free cream or coconut milk at the end. You can also mix in sautéed mushrooms or caramelized onions for extra flavor.
What readers are saying
Readers are raving about this recipe! Lex said it is the one they have been searching for, recommending it highly and noting that tapioca flour gave it a great, thick consistency. Kayla shared that her whole family, including her 1.5-year-old, loved it, calling it the best dairy free biscuits and gravy she has ever had. Allison appreciated how easy it was to follow, and Christine, who has not had biscuits and gravy in over 10 years due to a dairy allergy, said it was fantastic and even her boyfriend went back for seconds.

Ingredient notes
My non-dairy country gravy with sausage recipe is incredibly flavorful! With 4 ingredients and a quick roux, it'll become a staple in your house in no time. Here's what you'll need:
- Breakfast sausage: I typically use ground pork or breakfast sausage to make this gravy. Ground pork is unseasoned, while breakfast sausage includes spices like sage, thyme, salt, and pepper. Use whichever you prefer and adjust the seasonings to taste.
- Dairy free butter: This helps create a rich base for the gravy. Any plant-based butter works, so use what's in your fridge.
- All purpose flour: This thickens the gravy. To make gluten free, use your favorite gluten free flour blend!
- Dairy free milk: I suggest using almond milk, soy milk, or oat milk. Make sure it's unsweetened and unflavored.

Dairy free biscuits and gravy
If you're looking to get breakfast on the table quickly, I suggest using store-bought biscuits like Pillsbury Grands Southern Homestyle Original Biscuits or Annie's Organic Flaky Biscuits. Alternatively, use my easy recipe for biscuits without milk. It uses 6 simple ingredients and they're great for any occasion.

Dairy Free Sausage Gravy Recipe
Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 pound breakfast sausage
- 3 tablespoon dairy-free butter
- ¼ cup all-purpose flour
- 3 cups dairy-free milk
Instructions
- Place the sausage in a large skillet and cook over medium heat. Use a spatula to break it up as it cooks. Once browned, add the dairy-free butter and stir until melted. Coat the sausage with flour. Stir to combine and cook for about 3 minutes.

- Add the dairy-free milk and stir until the gravy thickens, about 10-15 minutes. For a thicker gravy, cook it a little longer or add a bit more flour. If it gets too thick, thin it with a splash of dairy-free milk.

- Serve warm over fresh dairy free biscuits. Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 4 days, reheat gravy in the microwave.
