Have your own pizza party at home, and skip the delivery!
These keto pizza bites are a cross between a bagel bite and a pizza muffin… Still chewy and savory, but with a softer texture than anything that is prepackaged or frozen. They take only a few minutes to prepare and only a couple of minutes in the oven, so this is a super fast meal. These would also work great cold the next day as an easy park lunch. Now you can avoid the guilt you might feel when you pop some of those premade ones in the oven or microwave knowing they have so many ingredients you can’t even pronounce much less identify.
They’re perfect for sharing, they emerge golden from the oven rather than coming out of a cardboard box, and they’re easy to make. Eating pizza in any form is always a blissful experience for me. But these are just delightful, hand-held deliciousness. Everyone will flock to these bites as soon as they hit the table, so don’t be surprised if they disappear quickly. If you have time and oven space, definitely make a double batch, as these can be frozen.
I made ours with Italian sausage and pepperoni, with a bit of red pepper thrown in, but these could easily be made with any pizza topping of your choice, ground beef, chicken, or just cheese if you want to skip the meat all together. Just make sure whatever vegetable you use is fairly dry you don’t want to add too much watery moisture to these or they won’t puff up.
A few quick notes:
- Almond flour can be used in place of coconut flour, but the bites will not be as light and fluffy. Rest assured they have no coconut flavor.
- If you skip chilling the dough they will flatten as they cook and not be nice round balls.
- A silicone mat, or parchment paper are really essential here for easy removal.
- We used a low-carb pizza sauce for dipping, but you could use spaghetti sauce, marinara, barbecue or ranch if you preferred.
FOLLOW-UP TASTE TEST by C.J.
These little Pizza Bites were tasty, and easy to make, and 1 pound of ground sausage yielded 30 plus bite. I do think you need to watch what type and brand of Ground Sausage you buy and ensure that you purchase a brand that you enjoy and that works well with your body. Also be aware of the ingredients in your ground sausage, the carb count and the sugar content (Sugar is everywhere). All and all these were delicious, I could see these being used as an appetizer (although we used them as an entree). We used pork sausage, but I would image this recipe would work with any type of ground sausage that you’d enjoy. Some of you are very skilled cooks, if you make another version let us see it over on Facebook. We hope you enjoy this recipe!
