🥣 Instructions
1️⃣ Preheat Oven
- Preheat to 375°F (190°C).
- Line a baking sheet or mini muffin pan with parchment paper or grease well.
2️⃣ Melt Cheese
- In a microwave-safe bowl, combine mozzarella and cream cheese.
- Microwave 1 minute, stir, then microwave 30 more seconds until fully melted and smooth.
- Stir until combined.
(No microwave? Use a small pot over low heat, stirring often.)
3️⃣ Mix Dough
- In a separate bowl, whisk almond flour, baking powder, garlic powder, onion powder, and salt.
- Add the melted cheese mixture and egg.
- Mix well until a dough forms (use a spatula or lightly oiled hands).
4️⃣ Shape Puffs
- Divide dough into 12–14 small balls.
- Place evenly on the baking sheet (or into mini muffin wells).
- Lightly flatten the tops (they puff as they bake).
5️⃣ Bake
- Bake 15–18 minutes until golden brown and set.
6️⃣ Brush & Sprinkle
- While still warm, brush each puff with melted butter.
- Sprinkle with garlic powder, Italian seasoning, and grated Parmesan.
7️⃣ Serve
Enjoy warm with:
- Sugar-free marinara
- Ranch dressing
- Melted cheese sauce
🌿 Storage
- Store in an airtight container in the fridge up to 4 days.
- Reheat in the oven or air fryer to restore crispness.
💡 Tips:
✅ For extra cheesiness, press a little shredded mozzarella into the center of each puff before baking.
✅ Make them spicy by adding crushed red pepper flakes to the dough or topping.
