These gluten free sausage balls taste just like the classic – crunchy on the outside and a little spicy!

I think every single weekend for a year, when I ask Justin what I should make for the blog, he says, “SAUSAGE BALLS SAUSAGE BALLS SAUSAGE BALLS.” And I finally took his advice (so that he could take some to school). He has fond memories of them, as do many of us, probably. They were even brought on a road trip a few Christmases ago…I didn’t know if that was safe or not, but we must all have iron stomachs or something, because we were okay!

These are great for a party, for lunch, or even just a snack. I know they’re very popular around the holidays, because it can make a hearty, filling bite, and help meat go a long way. But, I know it’s spring, but I feel like there’s never a bad time for sausage balls, and if my husband asked me about making them one more time, I was going to lose it. Parties I can think of that are coming up: NBA Playoffs/Finals, Graduations, Baby Showers, Wedding Showers. They’re very versatile!!

When I was thinking about how I can make this quick, easy appetizer my own, I knew I wanted to incorporate fresh chives, and try and make it gluten free for you fine folks. It was surprisingly easy, thanks to gluten-free baking mix! You can find some here on Amazon (affiliate link). It was even cheaper to get Bob’s Red Mill at my store, instead of getting gluten-free Bisquick!

Local Spotlight: I am SO happy, y’all. The farmers market is officially back and open every Saturday until it gets cold again. I was able to get local sausage from a brand new vendor, Prairie Creek Farms, and chives. The peach spread I used is also a local specialty, from Southern Okie! It gives it a nice sweet note, and helps bind all of the mixture together.

What kind of party do you have coming up? Do you need other party recommendations? What about a party pleasing salsa or buffalo chicken bites?

    Sausage balls that are crunchy on the outside are the best! Crispy sausage is the only way to go in my opinion. I love this recipe! Pinning for later!

    I’ve never heard of sausage balls done like this (I’m way up North). What a fun and easy party snack. Love the video. If I had been the one to take a bite out of it I don’t think I would have put the half ball back:-) It’s great that you are focused and excited about local. I can’t wait for things to start back up at my local farmer’s market…
