If you’re new here welcome! My blog consists mostly of WW recipes with points on them but every now and then, I’ll throw some surprise recipes out there for other diets such as Keto or Low Carb. Most of us find ourselves eating too many carbs on certain days and tend to look for low carb recipes. Do you ever find yourself feeling guilty after eating so many carbs? Yeah, I think we all do sometimes.

How to Make Keto Sausage Balls
Step 1 Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Step 2 Prepare a baking sheet. Line with a wire rack or some tinfoil.
Step 3 Place all ingredients into a bowl and mix well. I find that using your hands work best. Using a 1 in cooking scoop form the sausage mixture into 1 in meatballs. Place each ball onto the baking sheet.
Step 4 Bake for 25 minutes at 350 degrees.
Step 4 Air fryer method: Place the rolled sausage balls in the air fryer basket at 350 degrees for 10 minutes. It takes 10 minutes.
Yields: 56 servings 1 net carbs (1 sausage ball)
Keto Sausage Balls Recipe FAQS
The best way to freeze these keto sausage balls: Wait for the sausage balls to cool completely before placing them in a freezer bag. To reheat them, place them in the microwave for 1 to 2 minutes or until they are heated through.
You can also freeze them on a sheet pan and once they have completely froze add them to storage containers or freezer bags.
For those of you who are doing WW, don’t worry. I didn’t forget about you! To make WW friendly sausage balls I would do the following. Instead of using full fat cheddar or cream cheese use a low fat or fat free kind. Use ground Sweet Italian Turkey Sausage in place of full fat sausage.
Almond flour would still be ok in these sausage balls for WW. They come to 1 smart point each for 1 ball. The recipe makes 56 balls if you use a 1 inch ice cream scoop to shape them.
These sausage balls need a dipping sauce to go with them but they are also good eaten plain. Some of the dipping sauces I like to serve with these sausage balls are:
Honey Mustard - find a sugar free one such as J Hughes
Ranch Dressing
Sugar Free BBQ Sauce
Marinara Sauce

I am not affiliated with WW formerly known as Weight Watchers in any way. I am just a member who likes to create WW recipes and share them with everyone. Freestyle is the name of the current program of WW and smart points are calculated for the recipes. Some blogs list them as freestyle smart points and some list them as smart points. There is no difference between the 2.
How is this a WW recipe?
NO FOOD is off limits on WW and WW themselves stresses that a lot on their social media pages. That is one reason why I love WW. You can pretty much eat ANYTHING to lose weight just as long as you stay in your daily points range or are in a calorie deficit.

Thank you for the review!
LJ says
Was so hopeful but this was just meh. Not sure exactly what the problem is. Maybe it’s too much almond flour? Too much cream cheese?
Jenna says
Try Carb Quick Baking Biscuit mix instead!
Sarah says
Is there a way to make this low carb without the almond flour? I'm allergic to almonds.
Jenna says
No it's raw, then you bake it.
Pam says
Do you cook the sausage first?
Jenna says
Sure.
Rebekah Brooks says
Can you sub out carbquick instead of almond flour??
Jenna says
Sorry for the confusion but I fixed it. It is 1.
karen owens says
I am going to make this, but the net carb is confusing. The introduction states that the net carb is 3 and then at the end of the recipe it states it is 1.
