My Personal Experience

The first time I made these, I honestly wasn’t expecting them to be this good.

Required Equipment

Mixing Bowl

You’ll need a large mixing bowl to combine all your ingredients. I always go for one that gives me plenty of room to mix without making a mess.

Muffin Tin or Mini Muffin Pan

A muffin tin helps shape the puffs and ensures they bake evenly. Mini muffin pans work great if you want bite-sized versions!

Whisk or Spoon for Mixing

A good whisk or spoon will help you mix the batter smoothly and evenly distribute the ingredients.

Oven

These pizza puffs bake up perfectly in the oven. No need for fancy gadgets—just a simple bake, and they’re ready to go!

Ingredients & Substitutions

• 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese – The key to making these puffs extra cheesy and delicious. You can also use cheddar for a stronger flavor.
• ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese – Adds depth and a slightly nutty taste.
• 1 cup almond flour – Keeps the recipe keto-friendly and provides structure. Coconut flour can be used, but you’ll need less of it.
• 2 large eggs – Helps bind everything together.
• ¼ cup heavy cream – Adds moisture and richness.
• ½ teaspoon baking powder – Gives the puffs a slight rise.
• ½ teaspoon garlic powder – Essential for that classic pizza flavor.
• 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning – Brings in all the herby goodness.
• ¼ cup chopped pepperoni (optional) – Adds a true pizza taste, but you can leave it out for a vegetarian version.
• Salt & pepper to taste

Substitutions:

• Almond flour → Coconut flour (use ¼ cup instead of 1 cup)
• Heavy cream → Unsweetened almond milk for a lighter option
• Pepperoni → Cooked bacon bits or sausage

How to Make Keto Pizza Puffs

1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a muffin tin or use silicone liners.
2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together eggs, heavy cream, and seasonings (garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper).
3. Add almond flour, baking powder, and both cheeses to the mixture. Stir until well combined.
4. Fold in the chopped pepperoni (or your preferred add-in). The batter should be thick and well-mixed.
5. Scoop the batter into the muffin tin, filling each cup about ¾ full.
6. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown and slightly firm to the touch.
7. Let them cool for a few minutes before removing from the pan. Enjoy warm!

Tips for This Recipe

• Use freshly shredded cheese – Pre-packaged cheese contains anti-caking agents that can affect texture.
• Make them crispy – If you love crispy edges, bake for an extra 2 minutes.
• Try different toppings – Diced olives, jalapeños, or mushrooms can be great add-ins!

Optional Additions

• Chopped green onions – For a fresh kick.
• Crushed red pepper flakes – If you like a little heat.
• A sprinkle of extra cheese on top – Because more cheese is always better!

Serving Ideas

• Serve with keto marinara sauce for dipping.
• Pair with a side salad for a quick lunch.
• Enjoy as a snack on the go—they’re great for meal prep!

Storage Recommendations

• Refrigerator: Store in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
• Freezer: Freeze in a sealed bag for up to 2 months.
• Reheating: Warm in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for 5-7 minutes, or microwave for 30 seconds.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I make these dairy-free?
Yes! Use dairy-free cheese and replace heavy cream with coconut milk.

Can I make these without eggs?
A flaxseed egg (1 tbsp ground flax + 3 tbsp water) might work, but the texture will be slightly different.

Can I use coconut flour?
Yes, but use only ¼ cup, as it absorbs more liquid than almond flour.
