Easy Keto Pigs in a Blanket are the perfect low carb kid friendly dinner under 4 net carbs each!

If you guys follow me on Instagram you might have seen these a couple times. I have been working on making the PERFECT Keto Pigs in a Blanket because sometimes we just need to eat like a kid, right? 

These low carb Pigs in a Blanket are easier than you think. I modified my favorite keto fat head dough to create a dough that is awfully similar to crescent roll dough. It is light, fluffy and pairs perfect with your favorite hot dog or smoked sausage links! 

What ingredients do you need to make Keto Pigs in a Blanket?

• Mozzarella Cheese
• Cream Cheese
• Almond Flour
• Baking Powder
• Egg White
• Hot Dogs or Smoked Sausage Links
• Optional: Egg wash and seasonings for the top

Also, I highly suggest investing in a set of silicone baking mats. They make this recipe much easier and it is also the key to making amazing keto taquitos! 

How do you make Keto Pigs in a Blanket?

1. In a large micorwave safe bowl combine the mozzarella cheese and cream cheese. Heat in 30 second increments until cheese is completely melted.
2. Stir the cheese so they are combined.
3. In a second smaller bowl combine the almond flour and baking powder. Mix until the melted cheeses.
4. When the almond flour and cheese are nearly combined add in a beaten egg white and stir well
5. Using your hands work the dough to make sure the egg white is completely worked into the dough (no streaks of egg whites visable)
6. Lay the dough on a silicone baking sheet. Place a second silicone baking sheet on top and spread the dough into a thin rectangle.
7. Slice the dough into 6 strips.
8. Wrap the dough around the hot dogs, overlapping slightly.
9. Lastely, brush with an egg white and sprinkle with salt or Everything But the Bagel Seasoning if you wish.
10. Bake 18-20 minutes until golden brown.

How many carbs are in Keto Pigs in a Blanket?

This can vary depending on the variety of meat that you use. For this recipe I used Johnsonville Smoked Sausage links which has 2 net carbs per link. That is on the higher end of most of the brands I checked. Generally hot dogs are 2-1 net carbs per link. 

The low carb dough in this recipe has 2.1 net carbs if you divide it into 6 sections to make 6 pigs in a blanket. So my version using Johnsonville Smoked Sausage were about 4 net carbs each. However, if you use a lower carb meat yours may come in closer to 3 net carbs each. 

What should I serve with Pigs in a Blanket?

I love that this is a 30 minute meal that even picky eaters will love! You can serve with a quick garden salad to keep things nice and easy but if you want a few options for other side dishes these are some of my favorites!

• Crispy Green Bean Fries (air fryer and oven option)
• Keto Chili Cheese Chips (about ONE net carb per serving!)
• Air Fryer Broccoli (drizzled with garlic butter and parmesan)
• Crispy Zucchini Fries (seriously my favorite low carb side dish ever)

What are some other easy low carb, kid friendly recipes?

Another kid friendly option are these Keto Taco Cups. The little “cups” are made from cheesy fat head dough and pressed into muffin tins. Next you add cooked taco meat and top with cheese and bake until gold and bubbly. You can add your favorite taco fixings so everyone can have it exactly how they like it! 

Of course, these Keto Pizza Bites are always such a huge hit! You will love how easy these are for a quick dinner, meal prep lunch or just an appetizer. Naturally, these low carb bites are packed with sausage and cheese and dipped in low carb marinara. Alternatively, if your kiddos aren’t fans of sausage you can try the pepperoni version.
