You Won’t Believe How Easy These Air Fryer Keto Pretzel Bites Are to Make!

There’s something magical about making Air Fryer Keto Pretzel Bites at home — they’re tender, chewy, and full of that authentic taste you’d expect from a traditional pretzel, but without the extra carbs. The fathead-style dough made with coconut flour and melted mozzarella gives them a perfect texture that’s both soft and crisp. I love how they puff beautifully in just a few minutes inside the air fryer, turning golden and ready to indulge in. Lightly brushed with butter and sprinkled with coarse salt, each bite captures that classic chew of a bakery pretzel while staying completely low-carb and guilt-free.

They’re ideal snacks for party platters, lunchboxes, or even a cozy comfort food craving. You can prepare and cook them quick, and they’re satisfying enough for any net carb-watching serving. If you don’t have an air fryer, just pop them in a preheated oven at 375F, rotating the pan halfway to ensure even browning. Whether served warm or packed to go, these bites deliver the joy of pretzels without compromise — light, flavorful, and perfectly keto.

Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients

  

Pretzel Bites

• 4 tbsp coconut flour
• 1 tea spoon baking powder
• 1/2 tea spoon garlic powder
• 1/4 teaspoon  xanthan gum
• 6 ounce mozzarella cheese, shredded
• 1 tbsp coconut flour, for kneading dough
• 1 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
• 1 large egg
• coarse salt, for topping

Mustard Sauce

• 2 tbsp mayonnaise
• 2 tbsp spicy brown mustard

Method

 

1. Gather and prep ingredients before you begin. Make sure everything is measured and ready to go for a smooth process.
2. In a bowl, whisk together coconut flour, baking powder, garlic powder, and xanthan gum until fully blended. This forms the dry base for your dough.
3. Place mozzarella in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave it in short bursts until completely melted and easy to stir. Add the flour mixture and egg, then stir with a spatula or fork, working it all together until a solid dough forms.
4. When the cheese dough is cool enough to handle, dust the work surface with coconut flour and knead with your hands until it comes together completely and smooth.
5. Divide the dough into equal portions, roll each into a log, then cut into bite-size pieces. Brush with melted butter and place aside. Arrange the pretzel bites on the rack of the air fryer, sprinkle with coarse salt, and gently press it into the dough.
6. Air fry at 350F for 5–7 minutes until puffed, golden, and brown. Mix mayonnaise and mustard for a dipping sauce, then serve hot and enjoy the irresistible texture and flavor.
