Keto Twinkies
Do not be fooled! This isn’t a traditional Twinkie! This Twinkie is even better than a Hostess Twinkie!
We live in Hudson Wisconsin and on the quaint main street along the beautiful St. Croix river there is a restaurant called Agave Kitchen. The owner Paul adopted the ketogenic lifestyle and transformed his life! He started a keto menu so we would support him by going to his restaurant. They use no vegetable oils and everything is homemade.
My husband saw a Twinkie on the menu and he assumed it was a homemade Twinkie dessert so we never ordered it. The table next to us ordered it and when it came it was anything but a dessert! It was a pulled pork wrapped pepper stuffed with cream cheese with pulled pork around the pepper then wrapped in bacon! I had to make this into a recipe!
It is hard to find bacon without sugar and when you do it is VERY expensive! That is why I order Butcherbox bacon! It is sugar free and it is mailed to my front door!

Keto Twinkies
Ingredients
- 8 ounces cream cheese at room temperature or Kite Hill spread if dairy free
- 6 small jalapeños
- 1 lbs leftover Mexican Ribs shredded
- 6 slices sugar free bacon
Instructions
- Preheat oven or air fryer to 375 degrees F. Remove the stems from the jalapenos and slice in half. Scoop out the ribs and seeds.
- Stuff each jalapeno slice piece with a few TBS of the cheese and place 2 halves of jalapeno together.
- Place about 1/8 pound of leftover shredded ribs in the palm of your hand, and place a stuffed jalapeno in the center. Fold the shredded ribs and around the jalapeno, forming an egg shape.
- Wrap with a thin slice of bacon. Secure with a toothpick.
- Place onto a baking sheet with rimmed edges (or bacon grease will get everywhere).
- Bake the eggs at 375 degrees for 15 minutes, or until the bacon is crispy.
- We served ours with my homemade Ranch dressing!

OMG! I was like Craig, thinking it was a sweet desert. Definitely making some soon. Thanks
What could I substitute for the jalapenos? Not a fan…
Maybe some small sweet bell peppers.
What other meats can be substituted for the rib meat? Ground beef? Pork? Chicken? What spices would you suggest if using alternative meats?
