Keto Pizza Bites
Two-bite muffin-tin pizzas with an almond flour base, marinara, mozzarella, and pepperoni. Great for lunchboxes and about 2g net carbs each.
Pizza flavor in a poppable size
These bake in a muffin tin, so each one comes out as a neat little pizza you can eat in two bites. A quick almond flour and cheese base holds a spoon of low-sugar marinara, melted mozzarella, and a slice of pepperoni. The muffin cups keep everything contained, which makes them easy to pack cold for lunch.
Use a marinara with no added sugar, since jarred sauces are often where hidden carbs sneak in on pizza night. A light spoonful per cup is plenty. Let the bites cool in the tin for a few minutes so they set and lift out cleanly instead of sticking.
They reheat well, so a batch covers several days of snacks.

Recipe FAQ
Which marinara should I use?
Pick a jarred sauce that lists no added sugar and keeps net carbs low per serving. A plain tomato and basil sauce works well. Read the label, since many pasta sauces add sugar that adds up fast on pizza.
Can I add other toppings?
Yes, as long as they are low in carbs. Cooked sausage, olives, mushrooms, or bell pepper all work. Keep pieces small so they fit the cups and precook anything watery so the bites do not turn soggy.
