Preheat a taiyaki pan over medium heat and lightly grease it with coconut oil or butter.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, and granulated erythritol. Mix well to ensure there are no clumps.
In another bowl, whisk together eggs, unsweetened almond milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Gradually add the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring until a smooth, pourable batter forms. If the batter is too thick, add a little more almond milk, one tablespoon at a time.
Heat the taiyaki pan to medium-low and spoon a small amount of batter into one side of the fish mold, filling it halfway.
Place a small amount of unsweetened red bean paste or a few sugar-free chocolate chips in the center of the batter as the filling.
Spoon more batter on top of the filling to cover it completely, but do not overfill the mold.
Close the taiyaki pan and cook for 2-3 minutes on one side, then carefully flip and cook for another 2-3 minutes until golden brown and fully cooked through. Adjust the heat as necessary to prevent burning.
Remove the taiyaki from the pan and transfer to a wire rack to cool slightly before serving.
Repeat the process with the remaining batter and filling. Serve warm and enjoy your keto-friendly taiyaki!
