FOR FAMILY RECIPE: Cheesy Sausage Puffs (The BEST Low Carb Keto Snack)
I’m a little new to this low-carb thing, but in the short time that I’ve
been trying to cut out sugar, I’ve realized how hard it is to have
quick and easy snacks available. String cheese, nuts and boiled eggs
have started to get old and boring, so it’s nice to have a few exciting
on-the-go recipes that can last an entire week!
My husband loves sausage balls, but the ones I normally make are full of carbs. So, as a special keto surprise, I’ve been working on creating the perfect keto Sausage Ball Recipe. Most of the ones I’ve tried have been extremely dry, like give me a gallon of water right now before I can take another bite dry. So, I started experimenting from scratch to see if I could create a recipe that was both moist and flavorful.
My first try, in my opinion, was a
total thumbs down. Then, I remembered my delicious keto biscuit recipe
and how amazing it tastes. I thought I might be able to tweak that
recipe to make sausage balls that would knock my husband’s socks off.
Since you can’t really roll the dough into actual balls because of the
moisture content, I decided to call these Sausage Ball Puffs. In
actuality, they are much easier to make because you don’t have to spend
time rolling.
These cheesy sausage puffs are my favorite go-to low carb recipe. They are out-of-this-world delicious! I’m talking, little balls of heaven. They’re also pretty quick and easy which is a huge bonus in my book, and with the exception of the sausage, I usually have all of the ingredients on hand.
I’ve gotten several questions about substituting almond flour for coconut flour. We have tree nut allergies in our family, so I don’t personally cook with almond flour. Therefore, I haven’t tried using almond flour in any of my recipes. Generally, 1/4 cup coconut flour equals 1 cup almond flour.
Since you aren’t rolling these out like more traditional sausage balls, I recommend using a cookie scoop. It is super fast and works perfectly for this recipe. Plus cleanup is much easier than using your hands to roll them into balls.
