Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground pork sausage and dairy-free shredded cheddar cheese.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the sausage and cheese mixture, stirring to combine.
Once combined, add the dairy-free milk to the mixture, stirring until a sticky dough forms.
Using your hands or a small cookie scoop, shape the mixture into 1-inch balls and place them on the prepared baking sheet about 1 inch apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the sausage balls are golden brown and cooked through.
Remove from the oven and let them cool slightly on the baking sheet before serving.
Serve warm as an appetizer or snack.
