Biscuits and gravy cups? That’s right! Biscuit dough cups that are filled with an easy to make homemade sausage gravy that makes it all perfectly grab-and-go friendly while also being great for the kiddos! While these Skinny Biscuits & Gravy Cups are cute and even impressive, they are actually really simple and easy to make with just a handful of ingredients.

Since there isn’t a whole lot you can do to lighten up this biscuit part (outside of making your own biscuit dough), I did just about everything I could to make the gravy better-for-you. I started the gravy off with a lean turkey breakfast sausage and then swapped in almond milk for regular milk. I also used a reduced fat cheddar in place of regular.

Yes, I like to put just a little bit of shredded cheddar in with my gravy to give it a little more richness and even helping to thicken it up. This gravy is definitely one of my favorites, whether used in these cups or not.

While I used a turkey sausage here, you could use any lean or even vegetarian breakfast sausage of your choosing. I went with turkey because it’s lean and I like it just as much as regular breakfast sausage.
