How to Make Keto Pepperoni Pizza Bites
No special equipment is needed for this recipe! Just a spatula and a bowl! All you need to do is:
Combine softened cream cheese, with baking powder, coconut flour, eggs until the mixture is smooth.
Fold in mozzarella cheese and sliced pepperoni.
At least Ten minutes, chill the dough to allow the moisture to absorb.
Then, onto a lined baking sheet drop the dough and bake until golden (about Thirty minutes).
Serve right away with warm low-carb marinara once they are done or let them chill and store for up to Five days in an airtight container.
If you want a real pizza flavor we prefer dunking them in a warm low-carb marinara sauce. As long as you keep your portions light, this will fit just fine into a keto diet, considering dipping sauces are usually only 1-2 tbsp.
Can I Substitute the Coconut Flour?
Yes! In equal amounts, you can use almond flour OR coconut flour.
The coconut flour is a very light flour and absorbs moisture in a way that almond flour doesn’t. The bites are fluffy and soft, where almond flour is dense. Both options do work.
Is Pepperoni Keto?
Yes! on the keto diet, most cured meats are acceptable.
Tips for Making Keto Pizza Bites
Just chill your dough a little longer if you notice that there is still a lot of moisture in the mixture.
If you skip chilling step the bites will flatten as they cook.
If you want it to cook evenly and do not want it to stick then bake pepperoni bites on Silicone lined sheets.
