Ingredients
For the base:
- 1 ½ cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 2 oz cream cheese
- ¾ cup almond flour
- 1 large egg
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
For the topping:
- ½ cup sugar-free pizza sauce
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 20–25 slices pepperoni
- ½ teaspoon dried oregano
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
Instructions
Step 1: Preheat and prepare
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet or muffin tin with parchment paper or lightly grease it to prevent sticking.
Step 2: Melt the cheese
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine shredded mozzarella and cream cheese. Microwave for about 60–90 seconds, stirring halfway through, until fully melted and smooth.
Step 3: Make the dough
Add almond flour, egg, and baking powder to the melted cheese mixture. Mix well until a soft dough forms. Knead slightly with your hands if needed until smooth.
Step 4: Shape the bites
Divide the dough into small portions and roll into balls (about 1–1.5 inches). Place them on the prepared tray or into muffin cups. Gently flatten each one to create a mini base.
Step 5: Add toppings
Spoon a small amount of sugar-free pizza sauce onto each base. Sprinkle shredded mozzarella on top, then add a slice of pepperoni. Finish with oregano and garlic powder.
Step 6: Bake
Bake in the preheated oven for 12–15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the edges are golden brown.
Step 7: Cool and serve
Let the pizza bites cool slightly before serving. Enjoy them warm for the best cheesy, crispy texture.
