Keto Garlic Butter Breadsticks
Ingredients

For the Dough:

  • 1 1/2 cups almond flour
  • 1/4 cup coconut flour
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/4 cup cream cheese
  • 1/4 cup warm water
  • 1 tbsp granulated erythritol (or another keto-friendly sweetener)
  • 1 tbsp olive oil (optional, for extra softness)

For Brushing:

  • 3 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
  • 1/2 tsp kosher salt
  • 1/4 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/4 tsp Italian seasoning

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Dough:
    • Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
    • Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, mix together almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, and salt.
    • Mix Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, combine eggs, mozzarella cheese, and cream cheese. Microwave the cheese mixture for 30 seconds to soften, then stir until smooth.
    • Combine and Mix: Add the cheese mixture and warm water to the dry ingredients. Stir until well combined. The dough will be thick.
    • Knead: If using, add olive oil to the dough for extra softness and knead until smooth.
  2. Shape the Breadsticks:
    • Divide and Roll: Divide the dough into 12 equal portions. Roll each piece into a 7-inch log. Place the logs on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
    • Flatten Slightly: Optionally, flatten each log slightly to resemble breadsticks.
  3. Bake:
    • Bake Breadsticks: Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown and firm to the touch.
  4. Brush with Garlic Butter:
    • Prepare Garlic Butter: While the breadsticks are baking, mix melted butter, kosher salt, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning in a small bowl.
    • Brush: Remove breadsticks from the oven and immediately brush with the garlic butter mixture. Serve warm.
