Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Almond flour
- 2 tablespoons Coconut flour
- 0.25 cup Erythritol
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Xanthan gum
- 0.25 teaspoon Sea salt
- 0.5 cup Heavy cream
- 0.25 cup Unsalted butter, melted
- 2 items Large eggs
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 cups Avocado oil, for frying
- 0.25 cup Powdered erythritol, for dusting
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine almond flour, coconut flour, erythritol, baking powder, xanthan gum, and sea salt. Whisk together until well mixed.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients. Stir until a dough forms. The dough should be moist but not sticky.
Sprinkle a clean surface with a little bit of almond flour. Turn the dough out onto this surface and lightly knead to ensure uniformity.
Roll out the dough to about 1/4 inch thickness using a rolling pin.
Cut the dough into 2-inch squares using a sharp knife or a pizza cutter.
In a deep, heavy-bottomed pan, heat the avocado oil to 350°F (175°C).
Carefully drop 2-3 pieces of dough into the hot oil at a time. Fry each side for about 1-2 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
Use a slotted spoon to remove the beignets from the oil. Place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
Once all beignets are fried, dust them generously with powdered erythritol before serving.
Enjoy these keto-friendly beignets fresh, ideally served warm!
