Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup almond flour
- 2 tablespoons coconut flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 2 tablespoons granulated erythritol
- 1 teaspoon xanthan gum
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter
- 4 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup powdered erythritol
- 1/4 cup water
- 2 cups coconut oil (for frying)
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, combine unsweetened almond milk and unsalted butter. Bring to a boil over medium heat.
Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and add almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, granulated erythritol, and xanthan gum to the saucepan. Stir continuously until the mixture forms a dough and pulls away from the sides of the pan. Remove from heat and let cool for 5 minutes.
Transfer the dough to a mixing bowl. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition until fully incorporated. Add vanilla extract and mix until smooth.
Transfer the dough to a piping bag fitted with a large star tip.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and pipe the dough into circles, creating classic cruller shapes.
In a large skillet or deep fryer, heat coconut oil over medium-high heat to 350°F (175°C). Carefully place the piped crullers into the hot oil using a spatula or slotted spoon.
Fry the crullers in batches, flipping once, until golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes per side.
Remove crullers from the oil and drain on a paper towel-lined plate.
Prepare the glaze by whisking together powdered erythritol and water until smooth.
Drizzle the glaze over the warm crullers before serving. Allow them to sit for a few minutes to let the glaze set.
Enjoy your keto-friendly French crullers fresh for the best taste and texture.
