These quick and easy keto sausage balls are absolutely delicious! Imagine the perfect blend of savory sausage with a freshly baked cheddar biscuit. Yum! They can be served as an appetizer, pre-made and reheated for breakfast, or served at a party, bbq, or potluck. With only 2 carbs per serving, these keto sausage balls recipe also make a perfect snack.
10 minutes of prep time and 20 minutes of cook time makes this a quick and easy recipe. Start by preheating the oven and lining a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicon mat.
Next, in a large bowl mix all of the ingredients together. Don’t be afraid to use your hands – I find this is the best way to fully mix and incorporate everything. This recipe calls for flaxseed meal. If you don’t have it on hand, it’s no problem. Simply substitute it by adding one egg to the recipe instead.
Roll about 2 tablespoons of the mixture into 2 inch balls. You should have 30 balls when you’re done. Bake for 16 minutes. To get the tops crispy and a nice brown color, place the baking sheet on the top oven rack and broil for 2-4 minutes. Watch closely so that they don’t burn.
You can enjoy the keto sausage balls warm or at room temperature. Store them in the fridge and just pop them in the microwave for a minute or so to reheat.

Easy and delicious! And they keep me filled up all morning. They are best fresh out of the oven, but I made batch and was able to eat them all week for breakfast with a very short reheat in the microwave.

Love this and very simple to make. I substituted the egg for the flax seed oil and it worked fine. Definitely don’t forget to broil at the end.

Generally I use bulk sausage from the butchers counter, or you can use Jimmy Dean sausage.

My husband and I are new to Keto eating. Not knowing anything about Keto I searched online for recipes. I feel so fortunate to have found Suzanne’s Keto Karma. The way she presents the recipes gave me the confidence to go all-in and literally buy ingredients for over 10 recipes, before trying one. Everything I have prepared so far is absolutely delish. The stuffed chicken thighs are out of this world. I pared the chicken with the creamed Brussel sprouts which created a perfect weeknight dinner. The other things I made are the Keto Bagels, my husband is crazy for these; Spinach Artichoke Frittata, my dream breakfast; Bacon-wrapped asparagus, amazing; and these sausage balls, yum. Holy smokes Suzanne, you and your recipes rock!

Could the almond flour be swapped out for something like Carbquik or cutdacarb dust?

Hi there! I am sure it could, however I have never tried it with those products so I am not sure if the measurements would be the same.

I’m so excited to try your recipes! I’m trying to get my husband to go Keto but since he’s allergic to nuts, I’m having a hard time with the recipes that call for almond flour. Can you recommend a good substitute?

Hi there! In some recipes you can use coconut flour instead, but you will want to use much less, only 1/4-1/3 of the amount. Hopefully that helps!

What is the serving size for the 3g of carbs? In other words is that for each sausage ball?

these are fantastic! I use half cheddar and half Italian cheese blend as well as Italian herb seasoning just to punch them up. I have been eating keto for 18months and make these at least once a week!!

I just made these this week and they were excellent. They satisfied my cravings for chicken nuggets. Anyone else or just me?
