4 servings
- ½ lb ground beef (80/20)
- ½ lb ground pork
- 1 large egg
Ingredient noteEggs are safe during pregnancy as long as they are cooked all the way through.
- 3 tbsp almond flour
- 2 tbsp coconut aminos
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley, finely chopped
- 1 tsp dried oregano
Ingredient noteOregano is fine during pregnancy in normal cooking amounts - this recipe uses about 1/4 tsp per serving. The caution is about concentrated oregano oil and large medicinal doses.
- ½ tsp salt
- ¼ tsp black pepper
- 1 tbsp olive oil
Instructions
- 1
Preheat the oven to 400°F (205°C). Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper and brush or drizzle with the olive oil.

In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, ground pork, egg, almond flour, coconut aminos, garlic, parsley, oregano, salt, and black pepper. Mix with your hands until just combined — stop as soon as no streaks of egg or flour remain; overmixing toughens the meatballs.
