Keto breadsticks


https://greenandketo.com/easy-keto-cheese-garlic-bread

INGREDIENTS

  • 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese (divided) 
  • 3 tbsp cream cheese 
  • 1 egg 
  • 1/2 cup almond flour 
  • 2 tbsp coconut flour (see notes) 
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder 
  • 1/2 tsp oregano 
  • 1/4 tsp salt 
  • 1/4 tsp pepper 
  • 1/4 cup shredded parmesan cheese 
  • 1 tbsp chopped basil (optional)

INSTRUCTIONS

  1. Preheat the oven to 425°F. Prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large microwave-safe bowl, add 1 1/2 cups of mozzarella and the cream cheese. Melt in the microwave in a series of short, 30-second intervals. After each interval, stir the cheeses until they are completely melted and uniform. This should take around 1-2 minutes total, depending on your microwave. Do not overcook.
  3. To the melted cheese, add the egg, almond flour, coconut flour, herbs, salt, and pepper. Stir with a spatula until well combined. The dough will be sticky. (You can also mix the dough in a food processor fitted with the dough blade attachment.)
  4. Allow the dough to cool slightly in order to make it easier to work with. Place the dough onto a parchment-lined baking sheet. Either use wet fingertips to pat the dough out -- or cover with plastic wrap and roll the dough out to a 1/4 inch thickness.
  5. Bake for 5 minutes. Remove from the oven, pop any large air bubbles if necessary, and sprinkle with the remaining 1/2 cup of mozzarella cheese and parmesan cheese. Bake for an additional 5-7 minutes until the edges of the dough are golden brown.
  6. Garnish with basil, and serve with tomato sauce for dipping.

Cheddar Corn Dog Muffins

 

https://www.tasteofhome.com/recipes/cheddar-corn-dog-muffins/

The kids won’t actually eat corn dogs, but they ate these! I used the Jiffy mix and it was pretty easy. You can put the hot dogs in as one big piece but we prefer them chopped up small and mixed in with the batter.

Ingredients

1 package (8-1/2 ounces) cornbread/muffin mix

1/2 cup milk

1 large egg, lightly beaten

2 hot dogs, diced small

1/2 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese


Directions 

Preheat oven to 400°. Line 9 muffin cups with foil liners or grease 9 nonstick muffin cups.


In a small bowl, combine muffin mix, milk and egg; stir in cheese. If dicing hot dogs add the pieces to the batter then spoon into muffin cups.

If putting hot dogs in one piece, Put one spoonful of batter in each of the prepared cups, then stand up one of the hot dog pieces in the middle, or spread out the diced bits. Carefully spoon the rest of the batter around each hot dog piece. 

Bake until a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean, 14-18 minutes. Cool 5 minutes before removing from pan to a wire rack. Serve warm. Refrigerate leftovers. 

Freeze option: Freeze cooled muffins in freezer containers. To use, microwave each muffin on high until heated through, 30-60 seconds.
