Instructions:

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Melt the Cheese: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the shredded mozzarella and cream cheese. Microwave in 20-second increments, stirring in between, until the cheese is completely melted and smooth.
  3. Mix Dough Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the almond flour, baking powder, and salt. Add the dry ingredients to the melted cheese mixture along with the beaten egg. Mix well to form a dough. If the dough is sticky, knead it gently until it comes together. (Tip: Lightly oil your hands to handle the dough more easily.)
  4. Shape the Pretzel Bites: Divide the dough into small, equal portions (about 1-inch pieces). Roll each piece into a small ball and place on the lined baking sheet.
  5. Optional Baking Soda Bath: For a more traditional pretzel texture, bring the water and baking soda to a boil in a medium pot. Drop the pretzel bites into the boiling water for about 10-15 seconds, then remove with a slotted spoon and place back on the baking sheet.
  6. Top and Bake: Sprinkle coarse salt on each pretzel bite and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until they are golden brown and cooked through.
  7. Cool and Serve: Let the pretzel bites cool slightly before serving. Enjoy with mustard, cheese dip, or your favorite keto-friendly dipping sauce!

Tips:

  • If you don’t want to do the baking soda bath, you can skip this step. They’ll still be delicious, though the texture will be a bit softer.
  • Serve warm for the best texture. You can also reheat them in the oven or air fryer for a few minutes if making them ahead.

These Keto Pretzel Bites are soft, savory, and absolutely delicious—perfect for anyone looking to enjoy pretzels on a low-carb diet!
