Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Almond flour
- 2 tablespoons Coconut flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Granulated sweetener (erythritol or monk fruit)
- 2 large Eggs
- 3 tablespoons Heavy cream
- 0.5 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 tablespoons Chopped green onions
- 1 cup Avocado oil or lard (for frying)
Instructions
In a medium mixing bowl, combine almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and granulated sweetener. Mix well to ensure even distribution of the dry ingredients.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs and heavy cream until smooth.
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until a uniform batter forms.
Fold in the shredded cheddar cheese and chopped green onions, mixing until evenly incorporated.
Heat the avocado oil or lard in a deep skillet or saucepan over medium heat. The oil should reach a temperature of about 350°F (175°C) for perfect frying.
Using a tablespoon or small cookie scoop, carefully drop rounded mounds of batter into the hot oil, frying in small batches. Do not overcrowd the pan.
Fry the hush puppies for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy.
Using a slotted spoon, remove the hush puppies from the oil and transfer them to a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
Repeat the frying process with the remaining batter until all hush puppies are cooked.
Serve warm as a delicious keto-friendly side dish or snack. Enjoy!
