    Keto Sausage Balls

    These low carb and keto sausage balls use almond flour instead of the traditional baking mix. They are a super easy keto appetizer with only 6 ingredients and 20 minutes to bake.

    Sausage balls are one of my favorite keto appetizers.  These Keto Sausage Balls use almond flour instead of the baking mix traditional recipes use, and they are so easy you will be making them all year long.

    I’m trying to build up my collection of keto appetizers on my blog.  Some others you can find here are Keto Deviled Eggs, Ham Roll Ups, Garlic Parmesan Wings, Chicken Parmesan Meatballs, and Baked Brie!

    How would it feel to start losing with keto?

    They are all absolutely scrumptious and have very minimal carbs.

    HOW TO MAKE KETO SAUSAGE BALLS

    These are probably my favorite keto appetizer…I love to make a batch up and keep them in my fridge as a quick lunch during the week.  To start with these keto sausage balls…toss all of the ingredients into a large bowl.  Then get your hands dirty and mix it all together.  Easy peasy!

    Next, we use a small scoop to make sure all of the balls are an even size.  I used a 1 tablespoon cookie scoop and made 40 sausage balls.  The perfect appetizer size!

    Place them all on a silicone lined baking sheet (you could also use parchment paper), and then bake them in the oven for 20 minutes.

    That’s all there is to it!

    I like to serve these keto sausage balls on a round platter with more dried parsley and paprika sprinkled on top.

      These were delicious. I used chicken sausage. Very tasty and easy to make. there is hardly any grease left on the parchment so easy clean up too. Will try it with ranch or blue cheese dressing. I cooked them 22 minutes and they were perfect. Thanks for another GREAT recipe!

      Oh wow! I accidentally bought Italian sausage. I used it anyway but without the paprika in case the flavours would clash. Can’t wait to try this again with regular sausage. So glad I discovered you. Love your recipes!

      O…M…G… Jennifer, these are amazing. My mom used to make the Bisquik version every Christmas. Was craving them this year and went in search for a KETO recipe. I will declare that these are better than the original. The texture is perfect and the flavor is spot on. Did not change a thing. Thank you!!

      These are the best. I have tried other sausage ball recipes but this is my favorite. I did not use 2 cups of cheese as I felt that was overload with only a pound of sausage, so I cut that by half. This is my meal prep for breakfast and great to have on hand for snacks.

      I love making these! But 20 years ago, before Keto was invented, I made these with regular flour. Now I will always use almond flour! And the smoked paprika adds a wonderful smoky flavor! A absolute favorite spice of mine! Thanks for sharing this great recipe! ❤

        2 carbs per serving. She stated she made 40 balls and it is 10 servings. So it is 2 carbs for 4 balls

      Just made these. Tweaked it with 1 ts garlic powder.
      Hubby and kid were a bit sceptical since they noticed the almond flour, that I did not have super fine.
      But the taste was amazing and super easy to make.
      I just scarfed down 3 cold ones, so incredible good.
      These will be my go to snack to.

      Love from Norway 🇳🇴

      Jennifer these are great! The second time I made them, I added 2 ingredients and I want to share! I added 1 TB of Head Country Championship-Seasoning-Original, and 5 tsp’s of golden Monk fruit Sweetener and YUM!

      Could you make these up ahead of time and keep in the frig until ready to bake and serve? Looking for make ahead keto apps for a holiday weekend.

      These were so good, I was needing something to grab and go for breakfast or lunch, I did add a little garlic, red pepper flakes and rosemary. I cooked half, exactly 20 minutes and made up the other half to freeze before cooking. I did not get 40, only 32……….maybe my scooper was a little bigger………thanks for the recipe

      I can’t wait to try these. How well do they reheat in the microwave? I want to make them ahead of time for a dinner party. Thanks! Janet

      These are delicious! They are a breakfast favorite in my home! One question – what is the serving size for these? I know it yields 40ish for the recipe, but just want to be able to calculate this in my carb manager app. Thanks!

        I used this recipe and fried the sausage balls instead, as I don’t have an oven at the moment. Added a little rosemary and red pepper flakes for extra kick, turned out great! Thank you Jennifer for this gluten free winner of a recipe!

      These were excellent! They were actually better than the non-keto version I have made for years.
