These Keto Pigs in a Blanket are tiny cocktail franks wrapped in a fat head dough made with almond flour, mozzarella cheese, and cream cheese. They are then sprinkled with everything bagel seasoning, and baked until golden brown perfection! These little appetizer hot dogs are Grumpy and Kid-Friendly!
I love to make these Keto Pigs in a Blanket to enjoy as an appetizer for any type of gathering. They are especially fun for tailgating but we also will make a meal of appetizers, including these pigs in a blanket!
A keto version of an appetizer favorite
Grumpy loves the regular recipe for pigs in a blanket made with the crescent roll dough. Because of this, I wanted to make something similar that would work for the keto diet. They still be tasty enough so my picky eater would not complain I had ruined his favorite pre-keto food!
I used a low carb pizza crust recipe and cut it in strips to wrap around the cocktail franks. Then I sprinkled them with some Everything Bagel Seasoning before baking.
My picky eater enjoyed these keto pigs in a blanket, and it is a Grumpy approved keto appetizer recipe!
What you need to make this appetizer recipe
Cocktail Franks: I like to buy the beef cocktail franks. I think they have better flavor, but choose whichever ones you like.

Make this recipe your own
- Use your favorite cheese in the pizza dough. Any semi soft cheese will work. Pepper jack, swiss, and cheddar are a few ideas.
- Sprinkle the top of the pigs in a blanket with sesame seeds instead of the everything bagel seasoning
- Make it a main meal and wrap the dough around regular sized hotdogs to bake.
- Spread the dough with a spicy mustard before wrapping around the cocktail frank.

Roasted Strawberry Chipotle Sauce is a sugar free recipe. Be sure to use keto friendly sweeteners if you make this for dipping.
