Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups almond flour
- 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 2 tablespoons cream cheese
- 1 teaspoon xanthan gum
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 large egg
- 0.5 cup peanut butter (sugar-free)
- 0.25 cup unsalted butter
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 2 cups water
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the shredded mozzarella cheese and cream cheese. Microwave on high for about 1 minute, or until the cheeses are melted and can be easily mixed together.
Add the almond flour, xanthan gum, baking powder, and salt to the cheese mixture. Stir until a dough forms.
Crack the egg into the dough and knead until well incorporated. This can be done by mixing with a spatula or your hands.
Divide the dough into 16 equal portions and flatten them into circles with your palms.
Place a small spoonful of peanut butter in the center of each dough circle, then fold the dough over and seal the edges to form a ball. Make sure the peanut butter is securely encased.
Roll each ball into a rope, then shape it into a pretzel shape, placing it on the prepared baking sheet.
Bring the water and baking soda to a rapid boil in a large pot.
Carefully dip each pretzel into the boiling water for about 20 seconds, then remove with a slotted spoon and return to the baking sheet.
Brush the pretzels with melted butter and sprinkle with additional salt if desired.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the pretzels are golden brown.
Allow to cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy your keto-friendly peanut butter stuffed pretzels!
