If you ask me, hush puppies are the best part of seafood restaurants. No fried fish meal is complete without a them. These Low Carb Hush Puppies have all the flavor that you would expect from a traditional hush puppy, without the carbs!
I opted to bake these in the oven. Coconut flour is super absorbent and it sucked up way too much oil when I fried them. I actually prefer baking them anyway because it cuts down on the mess, and I can make a bunch of them at once without babysitting a skillet.
You absolutely MUST make these with my Fried Fish and Coleslaw!

Low Carb Hush Puppies
Ingredients
- 4 tbsp Butter Softened
- 3 oz Cream Cheese Softened
- 4 Eggs
- 1/3 cup Coconut Flour
- 1 tsp Baking Powder
- 1/4 tsp Garlic Powder
- 1/2 tsp Onion Powder
- 3 tbsp Onion Grated or Very Finely Sliced
- pinch Salt
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F and grease a baking sheet.
- Combine the butter and cream cheese in a medium bowl, using a hand mixer until its a smooth uniform consistency.
- Add the eggs and mix again.
- Next, add the coconut flour, baking powder, seasonings and onion. Mix well.
- Chill the batter in the freezer for 10 minutes.
- Scoop about 1 1/2 - 2 tbsp of the batter onto the prepared baking sheet. I use 2 spoons in order to keep the batter somewhat rounded (a cookie dough scoop would work great if you have one!)
- Bake for 25-30 minutes until golden brown.
Notes
These hush puppies were SOOOOO good, the recipe is definitely a keeper! I wanted to see how they’d come out pan fried, similar to a pancake, and they were delicious! I’ll try baking them next time for a change of pace Thank you! 😍
Thanks so much for the review! I will have to try that next time I make them 🙂
Would I be able to add some cheddar to these without messing them up?
Hi Andrea 🙂 I think you could definitely add some shredded cheese without any problem at all!
If you try it, let me know how it turns out!
I love the cheddar bay biscuits from Red Lobster and these tasted very similar. They did flatten out a bit more but like I care LOL! They were delicious. I forgot to add the cheese to the mix before I baked so I just sprinkled a little bit of cheese on top. Though it would have tasted better in the biscuit probably it was still really good.
Mine were flat as pancakes. I put in freezer for 10 min, baked in oven, followed recipe exactly. Any ideas?
Yeah this recipe doesn’t work in the slightest. Something serious is missing. I have soup after 30 min in freezer.
Sorry to hear that it’s not thickening up for you, You could add some extra coconut flour, about 1 tbsp at a time until you get a batter like consistency and then bake them in a mini muffin pan.
