Ingredients for Keto Pizza Muffins

• Shredded mozzarella cheese
• Cream cheese
• Almond flour
• Ground flax meal: you can sub additional almond flour in its place if you don’t have this on hand.
• Italian Sausage
• Low Carb Marinara

What is fat head dough?

Fat head dough is a low carb dough made by combining melted mozzarella cheese, cream cheese and almond flour. Some versions have eggs, mine does not, but I do add ground flax seed to make the dough more pliable and increase the fiber content. However, if you do not have ground flax seed, simply substitute additional almond flour in its place. 

How do you make Keto Pizza Muffins?

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F
2. In a microwave proof mixing bowl, combine the shredded mozzarella cheese and cream cheese. Heat in 30 second increments, stirring in between, until completely melted. Add the almond flour and ground flax meal.
3. Mix the dough well until you have a soft ball
4. Between two silicone baking mats or parchment paper, roll the dough into a rectangle roughly 12×9.
5. Using a biscuit cutter, or the top of a mason jar, cut 12 circles and press them lightly into a silicone or greased muffin tin.
6. In another bowl combine the cooked Italian sausage and marinara. 
7. Spoon the cooked sausage mixture into each cup and top with shredded mozzarella cheese.
8. Bake 15-18 minutes. 

How many Keto Pizza Muffins does this make?

This recipe makes 12 very full muffins that come to 2.7 net carbs each. However, this is a very easy to stretch a bit further, if you are cooking for a crowd, or if you are doing meal prep. By pressing your dough a little thinner and filling your cups 3/4 full, instead of to the brim, you can get 16 (or more) from this recipe. If you make 16 pizza muffins, they come to 2.1 net carbs each. 

Are Keto Pizza Muffins Good for Meal Prep?

Absolutely. These reheat perfectly. Pack these pizza muffins along with a low carb salad and extra marinara for dipping for a hearty keto-friendly lunch. Simply reheat these muffins in a microwave in 30 second increments until warm.
