Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Almond flour
- 2 tablespoons Coconut flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 1.5 cups Shredded mozzarella cheese
- 2 tablespoons Cream cheese
- 1 large Egg
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter (optional for brushing)
- 2 tablespoons Grated Parmesan cheese (optional for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
In a large microwave-safe bowl, combine the shredded mozzarella cheese and cream cheese. Microwave the mixture for 45 seconds, stir, then microwave for another 30-45 seconds until fully melted and uniform.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, and salt.
Add the egg to the melted cheese mixture and mix until combined. The mixture may seem a bit sticky, but this is normal.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the cheese and egg mixture. Using a spatula or your hands, knead the dough until it is uniform and smooth. If the dough feels too sticky, you can lightly oil your hands or let it rest for a few minutes.
Divide the dough into 12 equal portions and roll each one into a small ball. Place the dough balls on the prepared baking sheet, leaving enough space between them for slight expansion.
Bake the dough balls in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until they turn golden brown and cooked through.
Optional: While the dough balls are warm, brush them lightly with melted butter and sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese for added flavor.
Serve warm and enjoy! These dough balls pair well with marinara sauce or garlic butter as a dipping option.
