Perfect for a keto lifestyle, this recipe transforms a traditional treat into a modern masterpiece, all while keeping your carb count in check.
In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the almond flour, coconut flour, xanthan gum, baking powder, and salt.
In a separate small bowl, mix the warm water, apple cider vinegar, and egg. Whisk until well combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring until a dough forms. If the dough is too sticky, add a pinch more almond flour.
Dust a clean surface with coconut flour and knead the dough gently until smooth.
Roll out the dough to 1/4 inch thickness and cut into squares or rectangles using a knife or dough cutter.
Heat the avocado oil in a deep pan over medium heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
Carefully place a few dough pieces into the hot oil, frying them for 1-2 minutes on each side until puffed and golden brown.
Remove the sopapillas with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
Mix erythritol and ground cinnamon in a small bowl. Sprinkle this mix over the warm sopapillas for a sweet touch.
Serve immediately with sugar-free honey or extra cinnamon-erythritol sprinkle.
