Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Yuca flour
- 1 cup Almond flour
- 2 large Egg
- 1 cup Cheddar cheese, shredded
- 2 tablespoons Coconut oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Water
Instructions
In a large bowl, combine yuca flour, almond flour, and salt. Mix well to ensure even distribution of the ingredients.
Add the eggs and water to the dry ingredients. Stir until you achieve a sticky dough-like consistency.
Fold in the shredded cheddar cheese, mixing it into the dough until evenly incorporated.
Divide the dough into 8 equal parts. Roll each portion into a ball and then flatten them into discs about 1/2 inch thick with your hands.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the coconut oil.
Once the oil is hot, add the arepas to the skillet, ensuring they don't touch each other.
Cook the arepas for about 5 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through.
Transfer the cooked arepas to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
Serve warm. These arepas can be eaten on their own or filled with your favorite keto-friendly toppings.
