These Air Fryer Pigs in a Blanket are crispy on the outside and doughy on the inside all while being made from just a few real food ingredients in under 30 minutes! They are super delicious and I promise both your gluten free and non-gluten free loved ones will LOVE these. You can trust me, as my husband eats all the gluten and is absolutely obsessed with these anyway!

WHY CASSAVA FLOUR?
While mixtures of almond flour and coconut flour are great ways to keep recipes both gluten and grain free, they can sometimes turn out a bit on the grainier side. While I don’t always mind it since it still tastes delicious, I do prefer the result of using cassava flour instead! Plus, it’s a great way to cater to those that can’t have nuts or coconut!
Not all cassava flours are created equal. Some are grainy while others are super high quality. Otto’s Naturals is the only cassava flour I use, and they were nice enough to give me a discount code for you all! Use “kaylaskitchandfix” at checkout for a discounted price. They also have free shipping on all orders! Click here to shop!
This is a recipe for an Air Fryer!
I tested this recipe a handful of times, and it just works so much better in an air fryer vs. an oven, so I highly recommend using an air fryer for this recipe!
Other tips & tricks
- Count how many mini hot dogs/cocktail sausages you have and break apart your dough into that many pieces
- From there, gently but firmly roll each piece into a tight ball of dough
- Work with your dough very carefully, but the warmth of your hands and fingers should help make the dough mold together vs. crack apart, so have patience here!
- You can lightly spray the tops of the assembled pigs in a blanket with avocado oil if you’d like

A NOTE ON CALORIE COUNT, NUTRITIONAL INFO AND SERVING SIZES
Due to my past experiences, I do not include most of the above information within my recipes as it is unsafe for me to do so personally. While I try to share a rough estimate when it comes to the serving size, please note that it is very subjective as we all have different hunger levels both from person to person and even from meal to meal.
If any of the above information is important to you, I understand! We are all different and have various goals and needs. If you’d like, you are welcome to calculate the information needed based on the ingredients you use when making one of my recipes.
I hope you understand! This comes from a place of love and protection both for myself and others like me. If you ever have any questions, send me an Instagram message for the quickest response time! Thank you for being here!
