Keto Pigs in a Blanket
Keto pigs in a blanket are a great kid-friendly keto recipe. When my kids were young my husband worked a 12-hour shift every Saturday, so I would make all the kid-friendly foods on that day for dinner. The non-keto version of these were their favorites. We used to have pigs in a blanket, snuggle up, and watch kid movies. Ahhh, memories.
Great For the Whole Family
Even though my kids are older now they still love these comfort foods. So, when we went keto I had to make a version of this all-time favorite. It is like a big hot dog hug. If hot dogs had arms I guess. Hehe.
This can also be made with veggie hot dogs for vegetarians. My son and husband are vegetarians and they love this with their veggie hot dogs. Pair it with a vegetable or our cauliflower fries and some no sugar added ketchup . Yum. I am getting hungry.
Comfort Keto Food
I use nitrate-free, uncured, no filler hot dogs. This recipe carb count is based on hot dogs that are 1 carb per hot dog. Please adjust the carb amount if your hot dogs are higher than that. I hope your family loves these and make the kind of memories that my kids and I have of those snugly Saturdays.

Keto Pigs in a Blanket
Ingredients
- 1 ½ oz cream cheese
- ¾ cup cheddar cheese
- 1 egg
- 6 Tbsp almond flour
- 1 Tbsp coconut flour
- 1 pkg 10 hot dogs
Instructions
-
Preheat oven to 425°F.
-
Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper, set aside.
-
Put cream cheese and cheddar cheese in a microwave-safe bowl.
-
Microwave for 30-second bursts.
-
Stir after every 30 seconds until the cheddar and cream cheese are well incorporated and pull away from the walls of the bowl and incorporates well.
-
Add flours to cheese mixture and mix in.
-
Whisk egg and put into the bowl with cheese mixture.
-
Stir well until dough forms.
-
Put dough on hot dogs by getting a small ball of dough and rolling it between your hands to form a snakelike shape.
-
Then, wrap around the hot dog in a spiral starting from one end and ending at the other.
-
Put the hot dog on the parchment paper-lined cookie sheet.
-
Repeat until all hot dogs have dough spiraled around them.
-
Make sure you leave a little bit of space between each hot dog because the dough will spread a bit.
-
Cook for 7-8 minutes or until golden brown on the bottom of the dough.
-
Serve with mustard or no sugar added ketchup and enjoy.
-
NOTE:Y ou can also do this with veggie hot dogs for those of you that are vegetarians. I do both meat and veggie hot dogs when I make these for the family on two separate cookie sheets. I double the recipe to make 1 meat package and one veggie package of hot dogs.
