Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Almond flour
- 0.25 cup Ground flaxseed
- 2 large Eggs
- 0.5 cup Unsweetened almond milk
- 1 cup Cheddar cheese, shredded
- 0.5 cup Frozen corn kernels, thawed
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 cup Coconut oil, for frying
Instructions
In a mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, ground flaxseed, baking powder, salt, and black pepper.
In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs, then stir in the unsweetened almond milk until well combined.
Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix until a thick batter forms.
Fold in the shredded cheddar cheese and semi-thawed corn kernels into the batter.
Heat coconut oil in a deep skillet over medium-high heat.
Once the oil is hot, use a tablespoon to drop dollops of the batter into the skillet, flattening them slightly with the back of the spoon.
Fry the nuggets in batches for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy.
Remove the crispy corn nuggets with a slotted spoon and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
Allow them to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy them as a snack or an appetizer with a dipping sauce of your choice!
