Will meatballs stay together without eggs?

Yes, as long as you use another type of binder. In this case I use oat flour and yogurt.

Can I make eggless meatballs ahead of time?

Absolutely! These are a fantastic make ahead and meal prep option. You can either make and roll the meat mixture and keep them in the fridge until you're ready to cook, or you can cook them and freeze for quick meals.

How long do they take to cook?

It depends on your method of cooking, but generally about 15-20 minutes on the stovetop or in the oven.

What do I serve with meatballs without eggs?

You can serve them traditionally with spaghetti or as cheesy, saucy subs. A good low carb choice is spaghetti squash or zucchini noodles, but mashed potatoes are also a popular option. Check out this post for more healthy side dish options!

Notes

Air fryer and pan frying cooking methods are listed in the post
Keep the meat cold when mixing up the meat mixture
Be sure to use grated onion NOT chopped. It adds necessary moisture
Don't overmix or your eggless meatballs will tough
Use a cookie scoop to keep them all the same size
These are great in tomato sauce, on meatball subs, or make mini ones and add them to soups
They're also great for meal prep and freezing
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days
