Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 8 fresh jalapenos, halved and seeded
  • 4 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/4 cup almond flour
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
  • Optional: 1/4 cup bacon bits

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Jalapenos: Wash and dry the jalapenos, then slice them in half lengthwise and carefully remove the seeds and membranes to control the spice level.
  2. Mix the Filling: In a bowl, combine softened cream cheese, shredded cheddar, egg, almond flour, garlic powder, and smoked paprika until you get a smooth, cohesive mixture. Add bacon bits if using.
  3. Stuff the Jalapenos: Using a spoon or piping bag, fill each jalapeno half generously with the cheese mixture, making sure each one is evenly stuffed.
  4. Bake to Perfection: Place the stuffed jalapenos on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake at 375°F (190°C) for about 20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the tops turn golden brown.
  5. Cool and Serve: Let the bites cool for a few minutes before serving to ensure the filling sets perfectly.

Notes

  • Adjust Spice Levels: Removing all seeds makes them milder; leave some seeds if you prefer more heat.
  • Use Room Temperature Ingredients: Soften cream cheese and beat the egg beforehand to ensure a smooth filling texture.
  • Don’t Overfill: Give each bite a neat amount of filling to prevent overflow and ensure even baking.
  • Line Your Baking Tray: Use parchment paper or a silicone mat for easy cleanup and to prevent sticking.
  • Keep Almond Flour Fresh: Store almond flour in a cool, dry place to avoid rancidity and preserve flavor.
