Ingredients

For the dough:

1 teaspoon Baking powder
1 ¼ cup Almond flour
½ teaspoon Garlic powder
¼ teaspoon Xanthan gum
1 ½ cup Mozzarella cheese shredded
1 teaspoon Soy sauce
1 large egg
2 ounces Cream cheese softened

For the filling:

4 ounces Crab meat
3 ounces Cream cheese softened
¼ cup Finely chopped green onions
½ teaspoon Swerve confectioners sugar substitute
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
2 teaspoon Minced garlic

Instructions

Add the ingredients for the filling to a bowl, and stir to combine well.
Place the mozzarella cheese and cream cheese into a microwave safe bowl, and heat for 30 seconds at a time until completely melted.
In a mixing bowl, combine the cheese dough with the remaining dough ingredients, and knead to combine well.
Wet your hands slightly, and form the dough mixture into 8 evenly sized balls.
Flatten the balls of dough into circles.
Place a small amount of filling into the center of each one.
Fold the dough around the filling, and use water to seal the ball closed if needed.
Layer the crab rangoon bites on a parchment lined baking sheet, and bake in a 350 degree preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until browned and cooked through.

Notes

Make sure to work with the dough while it's warm, as it will be more pliable and easier to shape around the filling.
For the crispiest texture, bake the rangoons on a wire rack placed over a baking sheet to allow even air circulation.
Have your cream cheese softened at room temperature before you need it, as it blends better and prevent lumps.
Reheating in the air fryer helps restore the crunchy texture much better than microwaving.
If you don't want to make your own dough, small low-carb tortillas are one of the easiest and most reliable options for keto crab rangoon because they crisp up well and are easy to fold and seal.
