Made with just 6 ingredients, these breakfast chicken pork meatballs come together in just 30 minutes. They have the same great sweet and savory flavor of a maple sausage, but all the sweetness comes naturally from shredded apples! They are so good my toddler ate 8 (yes 8) in one night! And did I mention each meatball has around 16g of protein?!

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Use a cheese grater to shred the 3/4 cup white cheddar and 2 honeycrisp apples.
Mix together the shredded cheese, apples, 1 lb ground breakfast pork, 1 lb ground white meat chicken*, 1 cup almond flour, and 1 tsp baking powder in a large bowl (the best way to do this is with your hands). Scoop out 14 meatballs (about the size of a golf ball) and place them on a sheet tray. Then gently roll them into smooth balls. They are very tender, so work carefully. If they get sticky, wet your hands to minimize this.
Bake for 20-25 minutes or until they reach an internal temperature of at least 165 degrees F.
These are delicious as is or as part of a breakfast lunchable with fruit and an egg bite!
