So good. No one will ever guess they are gluten free.
*Update! November, 2022*
This is my most popular post on the ELMOMMA blog and I know why…These are still amazing, still easy to make and still delicious. I would never ever make them with gluten flour after making them gluten free like this. Before I went gluten free, the regular sausage balls were good but made my tummy ache. Now, my tummy is happy and so are all of my guests! Pin it, save it and try it! I promise you will love it!
Sub gluten free pancake mix for a perfect sweet and savory breakfast! Follow the recipe exactly as listed below, except use pancake mix instead of biscuit mix. (I used krusteaz gluten free pancake mix today and they were the perfect Christmas morning breakfast.) One of the Els ate 9 of them before we stopped him! Lol
El Momma’s Gluten Free Sausage Balls
By El Momma, Rebekah Maddux El-Hakam
Prep time: 15 minutes
Cook time: 20 minutes
Makes: approximately 2 dozen sausage balls
Several years ago, my momma called me and asked if I could bring her famous sausage balls to our family thanksgiving lunch. I decided to make these and didn’t tell anyone they were gluten free. They were a huge hit. And, less tummies were aching after this experiment. Truthfully, these are so good. I would never make them any other way. We do have a very large family and I make a double batch. Remember, the ratio is 1-1-1. Enjoy!
Ingredients
- 1 cup grated cheese blend
- 1 cup baking mix (suggest Gluten Free Bisquick)
- 1 lb of ground pork sausage
Directions
Preheat oven to 375 °F. Prepare baking sheet with parchment paper.
Slowly add in the bisquick with 1 lb of sausage in a standing mixing bowl. Mix until combined (about 30 seconds)
*TIP You may want to have the shield on your mixer to start, as it can be a little messy when first mixing in the bisquick. Once the bisquick and sausage are blended, add half of the cheese, mix for a few seconds, followed by the remaining cheese. Mix until well combined.
We like this balance of meat, cheese and bread. However, you could always add more cheese! I am sure your family/guests would not complain!
Next, use a 1 tablespoon measuring spoon to form the balls. These will be heaping scoops measuring about 2 tablespoons in all.
Form into balls as you scoop and place on the prepared baking sheets, leaving space in between the balls. I can safely fit 15 balls on each baking sheet.
Bake for 18-20 minutes until golden brown. When using parchment paper, I do not move the sausage balls during baking. I will check them at 18 minutes and leave for an additional 2 minutes, if needed.
We serve them with mustard, jam, or maple syrup. Your family will love them!

Have you ever frozen these to reheat later? I’m looking for new ideas for teenage boys snacks or a quick self serve breakfast. Thanks! L
Yes! These are perfect to freeze and reheat in the microwave/wrapped in a damp paper towel or warmed in the oven. I will warn you that Ours never last long enough In our house to freeze, though.
These turned our amazing!! I used gluten free biscuick. Your tip to dip them in maple syrup was downright genius!
Wonderful! Thanks so much for sharing. These are the best!
