    FAQs

    Can I freeze the sausage balls?
    Yes, freeze baked sausage balls in a single layer, then transfer them to a freezer bag. Reheat directly from frozen at 400°F for 10-15 minutes.

    Can I use coconut flour instead of almond flour?
    Coconut flour is more absorbent, so if substituting, use 1/3 cup and adjust the moisture content with an extra egg.

    Are these sausage balls gluten-free?
    Yes, the use of almond flour makes them a gluten-free option, suitable for those with gluten sensitivities!

    Variations

    Substitute the ground pork sausage with ground turkey or chicken sausage for a leaner option. Pair with keto-friendly sides like celery sticks or cucumber slices for a refreshing crunch.
