Gravy Thickener

Any know a keto, LC friendly way to make gravy? Will almond or coconut flour work to thicken? I always used to use cornstarch but I'm guessing that's not a good LC option.

    I think cream can be used.

    I use cornstarch or some other GF mix. I just don't use gravy much on my meat. Just a bit for flavour, and then the starch doesn't matter much.

    Xanthan gum... just don't use too much at once or it won't work right.

    Cream will thicken if you simmer it a bit. You can also add beef gelatin and you get a nice dose of collagen too.
