Ingredients

1 pound ground breakfast sausage
1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
4 ounces cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup almond flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon salt (adjust to taste)
Optional: 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes for heat

Directions

Preheat oven to 400°F (204°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil and grease lightly.
In a large bowl, combine all ingredients. Mix well with your hands or a spoon until thoroughly combined.
Use a small cookie scoop or tablespoon to form dough into 1-inch balls and place evenly spaced on the baking sheet.
Bake for 15-20 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
Optionally, broil for 1-2 minutes to crisp up the tops.
Serve warm with dipping sauces such as mustard, ranch, or sugar-free marinara.
