I am a sucker for snack food. There is just something about cute little bite-size appetizers that is so much more appealing than a plate full of normal size food. This is why I jump at any opportunity to make appetizers for dinner! My variety of low-carb pizza bites are perfect for nights like that.
These Supreme Pizza Puffs are loaded with Italian sausage, pepperoni, bell pepper, onion, and loads of cheese! Dip in a good low-carb marinara for a delicious and easy way to get your pizza fix!
Ingredients
These keto pizza bites are incredibly filling and easy to make! All you need is a handful of real ingredients and you can make this simple keto meal:
- Meat: We will be using Italian sausage that has been cooked and grease-drained
- Cheeses: Cream cheese and Shredded Mozzarella
- Coconut flour and Baking powder
- Seasonings: Garlic, Italian seasoning
- Add-Ins: Bell pepper, Red onion, Black olives
- Eggs: keeps everything together.
How To Make Supreme Pizza Bites
- First, while your oven is preheating combine the cooked sausage and cream cheese.
- Once they are well combined, you will add in the remaining ingredients and let the mixture chill for 10 minutes to allow the flour time to absorb the moisture.
- After the mixture has chilled, use a small cookie scoop to drop the batter onto a greased baking sheet. I like to use these silicone mats.
- Then you’ll bake them to golden perfection, brush them with some butter and Italian seasoning, and voila! You have the perfect keto supreme pizza bites!
Freezing
Yes, these are freezer friendly. Bake the bites according to the recipe directions. Allow them to cool completely then store in an airtight container. Pull them out as needed. I reheat mine in 20-second increments in the microwave!
Tips
These Pizza Puffs are simple to make and use whole ingredients! Here are a few steps to make sure you get the perfect puff every time.
- Don’t skip the dough chilling. If you do, the puffs will flatten as they cook and they will not be nice round balls.
- Coconut flour can be swapped for almond flour however if you do the bites will not be as light and fluffy.
- Make sure to pat the olives dry before adding them to the recipe so they do not add too much moisture to the batter.
- I bake my pepperoni bites on silicone lined sheets so they cook evenly and do not stick.
- Dunk these in your favorite low-carb marinara sauce! Mine is Rao’s Low-Carb Marinara.

Notes
I love snack foods, too, and could make a meal out of bite sized food (I’ve actually done it a bunch of times)! 🙂 These pizza puffs would be a huge hit, and I love idea of dunking them in marinara!
Sometimes when I am craving pizza but don’t want to fool with dough I just make these bites instead! 🙂 They are delicious and so easy!
Yes yes yes YES! These were HITTING!!!! So quick, easy, and delicious! I’ve been keto/low carb since late January and these hit the spot!!!! I’ve already lost 70 lbs and I’ll add these to my repertoire! These will definitely scratch that itch for pizza. Your cheddar garlic biscuits are phenomenal as well. Bless you sis!!!
I made mine with sweet Italian sausage, shallots, mini pepperoni, and mushrooms, and the other ingredients listed. I made sure to press all of the liquid from my canned mushrooms before adding them. These really were perfect!
Can you sub almond flour for the coconut flour as I’m allergic and new to keto so I’m not sure?
These are wonderful!! They taste like a healthy version of a Totinos Pizza Roll. We substituted crushed pork rinds for the coconut flour. Thank you for the great recipe!!
Can you use gf flour or self raising flour?.
They look good.
Hi Sharon, yes I believe that would work. Enjoy!
The results were great! I used spicy Italian sausage. The making would have gone so much better if I had prepped all the ingredients (the chopping) ahead of time. Great tip on waiting to allow coconut flour to adjust. No flat balls in my batch. I am thinking the base of cheese, eggs and coconut flour could be used for different flavor profiles. I am thinking something curried.
These are delicious!!
