Pigs In Blankets In The Hole | Lower Fat Healthy Christmas Recipe

Pigs In Blankets In The Hole | Healthy Christmas Recipe Low fat

Christmas is just around the corner as I type this, and am already dreaming about all the tasty food that comes with it.

2 of my favourite things about a Christmas dinner are the Pigs in Blankets, and the Yorkshire puddings. 

(I know not everyone has Yorkshire puddings with their Christmas dinner, but in my opinion they are required with every roast and every meat.)

Update: I first wrote this recipe in 2018. I've now updated it in 2023, with new photos and Air Fryer cooking instructions. I'm the image, I cooked the potatoes, stuffing and Pigs In Blankets In The Hole all in my Air Fryer.

This dish combines my 2 favourites into one dish, and better still, this is lower calorie and lower fat than a normal toad in the hole dish. Goes amazingly with my low calorie and slimming friendly gravy and Air Fryer Roast Potatoes. 

I used turkey bacon to wrap the sausages in, but any bacon with the fat removed will do, such as bacon medallions.

The Yorkshire pudding mix works best when you leave it in the fridge for as long as possible, preferably over night. This really helps to give it the rise.

I used the lean sausages from, as they are very low in fat.

You could use any low calorie/low fat sausage to keep the calories down.

This recipe also works well as a normal toad in the hole recipe.

Pigs In Blankets In The Hole Recipe 


I worked this recipe out to be:

3 Syns on Slimming World per portion

5 WW Smart Points per portion

This varies depending on the sausage, and is my own calculation.
