Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound (454 g / 16 oz) bulk breakfast sausage
  • 1½ cups / 170 g (6 oz) shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup (112 g / 4 oz) finely ground blanched almond flour
  • 1 tablespoon (15 g / 0.53 oz) baking powder
  • Use a stand mixer with a dough hook attachment to easily combine the without overworking the mixture.
  • Use a small cookie scoop for uniformly sized sausage balls. This ensures they all cook evenly in the same amount of time.
  • Feel free to swap the sharp cheddar with other cheeses like pepper jack, Colby, or a Monterey Jack blend for a different flavor profile.

Method
 

  1. Prepare for Baking: Preheat your oven to 375°F / 190°C.
  2. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
  3. Combine : In a large mixing bowl, add the bulk sausage, shredded cheddar cheese, almond flour, and baking powder. Use your hands or a stand mixer to combine the until they are just incorporated. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the sausage balls tough.
  4. Form and Bake: Scoop the mixture using a tablespoon or a small cookie scoop to create uniform 1-inch balls.
  5. Arrange them on the prepared baking sheet, leaving a little space between each one.
  6. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
  7. Serve and Store: Let the sausage balls cool slightly before serving. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
  8. Don't overmix!
  9. Combine the until they just come together. Overmixing can result in dense, tough sausage balls.
