Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, coconut flour, erythritol sweetener, xanthan gum, gelatin powder, baking powder, and salt. Stir until thoroughly mixed.
In another bowl, lightly beat the eggs. Add the unsweetened almond milk, vanilla extract, and melted butter to the eggs and whisk to combine.
Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring continuously until you form a dough-like consistency.
Scoop out small portions of the dough, about the size of a tablespoon, and roll them into smooth balls with your hands.
Place the mochi balls on the prepared baking sheet ensuring they have a little space between them.
Bake the mochi balls in the preheated oven for about 25 to 30 minutes or until they are lightly golden on top and firm to the touch.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and allow the mochi balls to cool slightly before serving.
Enjoy your keto-friendly mochi balls warm or at room temperature.
