Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Almond flour
- 0.25 cup Coconut flour
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Xanthan gum
- 0.25 cup Granulated erythritol
- 3 large Eggs
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter, melted
- 0.25 cup Unsweetened almond milk
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup Cheddar cheese, shredded
- 4 oz Cream cheese
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tray with 8 paper liners.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, xanthan gum, and granulated erythritol. Stir well to blend.
In another bowl, whisk together the eggs, melted butter, almond milk, and vanilla extract until well incorporated.
Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix until a dough forms. It should be slightly sticky.
Fold the shredded cheddar cheese and cream cheese into the dough, ensuring they are evenly distributed.
Divide the dough equally among the prepared muffin liners, filling each with the dough.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes or until the tops are golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow the ensaimadas to cool in the tray for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve the Keto Ensaimadas warm or at room temperature. They can be stored in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
