Ingredients

• 1.5 cups almond flour
• 1.75 cups mozzarella cheese, shredded
• 2 tablespoons cream cheese
• 1 large egg
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
• 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
• 3 ounces cheddar cheese, cut into small cubes
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
• 1 teaspoon coarse sea salt, for topping

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the shredded mozzarella cheese and cream cheese. Microwave on high for about 1 minute, or until the cheese is melted and can be stirred together.

Step 3

In a separate large bowl, whisk together the almond flour, baking powder, sea salt, and garlic powder.

Step 4

Add the melted cheese mixture and the egg to the dry ingredients. Mix until a cohesive dough forms. The dough may be sticky at first, but knead it slightly until it becomes pliable.

Step 5

Divide the dough into 8 equal portions. Roll each portion into a long rope, about 12 inches in length.

Step 6

Wrap each dough rope around a cube of cheddar cheese, ensuring the cheese is completely enclosed. Shape into a pretzel form if desired.

Step 7

Place the pretzels on the prepared baking sheet. Brush each pretzel with melted butter and sprinkle with coarse sea salt.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 12 to 15 minutes or until the pretzels are golden brown.

Step 9

Allow the pretzels to cool slightly on the baking sheet before serving. Enjoy warm!
