Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Almond flour
- 2 tablespoons Coconut flour
- 1 cup Erythritol (granulated sugar substitute)
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 6 ounces Unsalted butter
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with parchment paper or use silicone muffin molds.
In a medium-sized bowl, combine almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, and salt. Mix well to ensure there are no lumps.
In a separate bowl, cream together 4 ounces of the butter and erythritol using a hand mixer until light and fluffy.
Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients until a dough forms. The dough should be slightly sticky but firm.
Lightly flour a clean surface with a small amount of almond flour and shape the dough into a rectangular shape. Cut into 8 equal portions.
Cube the remaining 2 ounces of butter, and insert a cube into the center of each dough portion.
Roll each piece into a ball, ensuring the butter is enclosed, then flatten slightly and place it into prepared muffin tins.
Sprinkle each portion with a little extra erythritol to mimic the caramelized effect of a traditional Kouign Amann.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown and firm to the touch.
Remove from the oven and let them cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve warm or at room temperature, enjoying the sweet, buttery layers of this keto-friendly treat.
