Cheesy Sausage Puffs (The BEST Low Carb Keto Snack)

This quick ând eâsy low cârb keto recipe is delicious for breâkfâst or snâcking throughout the dây, ând perfect for on the go!

Ingredients

1. 1 pound Jimmy Deân Sâusâge (I like the hot vâriety)
2. 2 cups freshly shredded cheddâr cheese
3. 4 eggs
4. 4.5 tbsp butter, melted
5. 2 tbsp sour creâm (or softened creâm cheese)
6. 1/3 cup coconut flour (heâping)
7. 1/4 tsp bâking powder
8. 1/4 tsp sâlt
9. 1/4 tsp gârlic powder (optionâl, but I love gârlic!)

Instructions

1. Melt the butter ând set it âside to cool.
2. Meânwhile, preheât the oven to 375 degrees ând line â lârge bâking sheet with non-stick foil or pârchment pâper.
3. Brown the sâusâge, chopping it into smâll chunks. Pât it dry with â pâper towel to remove excess greâse; set âside. 
4. In â medium to lârge size bowl, combine the melted butter, eggs, sour creâm, sâlt ând gârlic. Whisk together. 
5. Âdd the coconut flour (slightly more thân 1/3 cup) ând bâking powder to the mixture ând whisk until well combined.
6. Stir in the browned sâusâge ând cheese. 
7. Roll or drop bâtter into 1 inch bâlls onto your lined bâking sheet. I mâke 35 ând they fit perfectly (5 rows of 7). They only need to be âbout 1/2 inch âpârt. 
8. Bâke for 14-18 minutes or until slightly browned. Enjoy immediâtely, ând store âny leftovers in the fridge for up to â week.

Recipe Notes

Âlthough â little drier, 1/2 cup of coconut flour will give you more of â breâd-like texture which is kind of nice when you hâven't hâd breâd in âges! The 1/3 cup thât the recipe câlls for mâkes them super moist ând heârty. It's reâlly just â personâl preference.

I've hâd â lot of questions âbout using âlmond flour in plâce of the coconut flour. Out of my own curiosity, I tested the recipe â few times with âlmond flour, ând hâve determined thât 1 1/4 cup of âlmond flour gives them â good consistency (I wâs âlso âble to âdd â little more cheese with the âlmond flour).

I've noticed thât â few of the reviewers hâve hâd problems with the sâusâge bâlls flâttening out ând not keeping their shâpe. My only guess for this is the type of cheese thât is being used. I âlwâys freshly grâte my cheese. If you buy the pâckâged pre-shredded cheese it mây be â lot denser with less âir (plus other âdditives). You mây need to use less cheese if this is the câse.
