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 definitely nice to have a few exciting and yummy recipes that can last an entire week.

These little cheesy puffs of heaven are my new favorite on-the-go snack!

Prep Time15 minutes
Cook Time18 minutes
Course: Breakfast, Snack
Keyword: breakfast, easy snacks, keto, low carb, sausage
Servings: 35 puffs

Ingredients

  • 1 pound Jimmy Dean Sausage (I like the hot variety)
  • 2 cups freshly shredded cheddar cheese
  • 4 eggs
  • 4.5 tbsp butter, melted
  • 2 tbsp sour cream (or softened cream cheese)
  • 1/3 cup coconut flour (heaping)
  • 1/4 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp garlic powder (optional)

Instructions

  • Melt the butter and set it aside to cool.
  • Meanwhile, preheat oven to 375° F and line a large baking sheet with non-stick foil or parchment paper. 
  • Brown the sausage, chopping it into small chunks. Pat it dry with a paper towel to remove excess grease; set aside. 
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the melted butter, eggs, sour cream, salt and garlic.
  • Add the coconut flour (slightly more than 1/3 cup) and baking powder to the mixture and combine well.
  • Stir in the browned sausage and cheese. 
  • Roll or drop batter into 1 inch balls onto your lined baking sheet. I make 35 and they fit perfectly (5 rows of 7). They only need to be about 1/2 inch apart. 
  • Bake for 14-18 minutes or until slightly browned. Store any leftovers in the fridge for up to a week. You can reheat them in the microwave or air fryer!

Notes

  • Although a little drier, 1/2 cup of coconut flour will give you more of a bread-like texture which is kind of nice when you haven't had bread in ages! The 1/3 cup that the recipe calls for makes them super moist and hearty. It's really just a personal preference.
  • I've had a lot of questions about using almond flour in place of the coconut flour. Out of my own curiosity, I tested the recipe a few times with almond flour, and have determined that 1¼ cups of almond flour gives them a good consistency (I was also able to add a little more cheese with the almond flour).
  • I've noticed that a few of the reviewers have had problems with the sausage balls flattening out and not keeping their shape. My only guess for this is the type of cheese that is being used. I always freshly grate my cheese. If you buy the packaged pre-shredded cheese it may be a lot denser with less air (plus other additives). You may need to use less cheese if this is the case.
