I’ve seen lots of recipes for meatballs online, but they all contain almond flour. Since my daughter is allergic to almond flour, I don’t use it in recipes that the entire family will be eating. Instead, I use coconut flour so that it is safe for her to eat as well. As a mom of four, I don’t have time to cook more than one meal at dinner. Personally, I think meatballs are so much better after simmering in a slow cooker all day. They seem to get much more tender and flavorful.Plus, anytime I have dinner taken care of early in the day I count it a win! It seems that the entire rest of my day goes so much smoother. You can serve these BBQ Mozzarella Meatballs over zoodles or with your favorite vegetable and a garden salad. It’s such a simple keto friendly/low carb meal that the entire family can enjoy.
