The Best Low-Carb Sausage Balls
These low-carb sausage balls are made with ground sausage, cheddar cheese, cream cheese, coconut flour, and egg for a simple breakfast, snack, or appetizer. They're easy to make, packed with protein, and perfect for busy mornings.

- Roll the mixture into approximately 17 sausage balls, about 2 inches in diameter each.

Notes
- The sausage balls shown in the photos are approximately 2 inches in diameter and yield about 17 sausage balls.
- If you’d prefer smaller appetizer-sized sausage balls, roll the mixture into approximately 30 one-inch balls and reduce the baking time to 15–20 minutes.
- I recommend lining your baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
- Coconut flour helps hold everything together without the need for a traditional baking mix.
- These sausage balls make a great breakfast, snack, or addition to a church fellowship table.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator and reheat as needed.
