Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup almond flour
- 2 tablespoons coconut flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon xanthan gum
- 1 tablespoon granulated erythritol
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 2 tablespoons cream cheese
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup avocado oil
- 2 tablespoons powdered erythritol
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, xanthan gum, and granulated erythritol.
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the mozzarella cheese and cream cheese. Microwave in 15-second increments, stirring in between, until the cheese mixture is fully melted and smooth.
Add the eggs and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients and mix until a dough begins to form.
Stir the melted cheese mixture into the dough and knead until the dough is smooth and well combined.
Place a large skillet over medium heat and pour in the avocado oil.
Once the oil is hot, use a small ice cream scoop or tablespoon to drop balls of the dough into the oil, working in batches.
Fry the dough balls, turning occasionally, until they are golden brown on all sides, about 3-4 minutes per batch. Adjust heat as necessary to prevent burning.
Remove the dough balls from the oil and drain them on paper towels.
In a small bowl, mix powdered erythritol and ground cinnamon.
While the dough balls are still warm, sprinkle the erythritol-cinnamon mixture over them or roll them in the mixture to coat.
Serve immediately for best texture and flavor.
