Keto Mummy Dogs
A fun and spooky low-carb Halloween treat! These mummy dogs use a delicious keto-friendly fathead-style dough wrapped around savory sausages.
Equipment
- Baking Sheet
- Parchment Paper
- Mixing Bowl
Ingredients
Dough Ingredients
- 0.5 cup almond flour 2 oz.
- 4 tbsp coconut flour
- 0.5 tsp salt
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 2.5 oz butter
- 6 oz shredded mozzarella cheese 1.5 cups
- 1 large egg
Assembly
- 1 lb uncured hot dogs or sausage links 4-8 count
- 1 egg beaten for brushing
- 16 whole cloves optional, for eyes
Instructions
- Heat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a big bowl, stir together the almond flour, coconut flour, salt, and baking powder.
- In a small pan over low heat, melt the butter and mozzarella together. Stir until smooth and stretchy, then take it off the heat.
- Crack the first egg into the flour mix, then pour in the warm cheese mixture. Mix everything until a soft, firm dough forms.
- Place the dough between two sheets of parchment paper and flatten it into a rectangle about 8x14 inches.
- Cut the rectangle into 8 long strips (about 1 inch wide each).
- Wrap one dough strip around each hot dog like a bandage, leaving a small gap for the "face."
- Whisk the second egg and brush it over the wrapped dogs.
- Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 15–20 minutes, until the dough is golden and puffy.
- Stick two cloves into each dog for eyes (just for fun—don’t eat the cloves!).
