Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Almond flour
- 0.25 cup Coconut flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 2 tablespoons Granulated erythritol
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Unsweetened almond milk
- 1 large Egg
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 cup Coconut oil
Instructions
In a mixing bowl, combine almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, granulated erythritol, and salt. Mix well to ensure the dry ingredients are evenly distributed.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the unsweetened almond milk, egg, and vanilla extract until fully combined.
Gradually add the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring with a spatula or wooden spoon until a thick, sticky dough forms. The consistency should be similar to that of traditional dough - firm enough to shape but not too dry.
Let the dough rest for about 5 minutes. This allows the coconut flour to absorb some of the moisture, making it easier to handle.
Meanwhile, heat coconut oil in a deep skillet over medium heat. The oil should be about 1 inch deep and reach a temperature of 350°F (175°C).
Using lightly oiled hands, divide the dough into 8 equal portions. Shape each portion into a small log or oval shape, about 3 inches long.
Carefully place each shaped dough piece into the hot oil. Fry in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan.
Fry each piece for about 3 to 4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Turn occasionally to ensure they cook evenly.
Once cooked, remove from the oil and drain on a paper towel-lined plate to remove excess oil.
Serve warm and enjoy your Keto Jamaican Festival either as a snack or side dish with your favorite keto-friendly dips or meals.
