INSTRUCTIONS

  • Place the almond flour, Swerve Brown Sugar, Eggs, Cheese, baking powder, and bacon in mixing bowl.
  • Stir to combine.
  • Place 1 tablespoon of dough on cookie sheet lined with parchment paper. I use a small cookie scoop that equals about a tablespoon. You should get 16 cheese puffs.

  • Serve immediately.
  • If storing puffs, store in airtight container in refrigerator up to 1 week.
