These will not taste exactly like cheese sticks from your favorite Italian Restaurant since there is no gluten in coconut flour and the texture is different. However, they are an excellent keto/low carb alternative that will hit the spot.
Keto / Low Carb Cheesy Breadsticks Recipe
Ingredients
For the Breadsticks:
- 4½ tablespoons of butter (melted & cooled)
- ⅓ cup coconut flour
- 1 oz cream cheese softened
- 4 eggs
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1⅓ cup mozzarella cheese shredded
- 1/2 cup parmesan cheese shredded
- 2 cups mozzarella cheese shredded
- 1/4 cup parmesan cheese shredded
- 1/2 tsp Italian seasoning
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees and grease an 11X7 baking pan.
- Combine melted butter (I cool mine by popping the bowl in the fridge for 5 min), eggs, salt, and cream cheese then whisk together.
- Add coconut flour, baking powder, and spices to the mixture and stir until combined.
- Stir in cheeses.
- Pour batter into rectangular casserole dish.
- Top bread mixture with the additional mozzarella, parmesan cheese, and Italian spices.
- Halfway through baking use a pizza cutter to cut horizontally down the middle then vertically every inch or so to create a division in the individual breadsticks. I cut mine into 16 half breadsticks.
- Bake for 15 minutes or until breadsticks are done.
- Move pan to top rack of the oven and broil for 1-2 minutes so that the cheese is browned and bubbly.
