In a large bowl, whisk together almond flour, coconut flour, xanthan gum, and baking powder until well combined.
In another bowl, beat the eggs and stir in the unsweetened almond milk.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until smooth. The batter should be slightly runny but cohesive.
Preheat and lightly grease a takoyaki pan with avocado oil over medium heat.
Fill each takoyaki mold about two-thirds full with the batter.
Drop a small piece of diced cooked octopus and a sprinkle of green onions into each mold, then cover with a bit more batter to fully encase the filling.
Cook the takoyaki for 2-3 minutes until the bottom is golden, then gently flip each ball using skewers or chopsticks. Cook for another 2-3 minutes, rotating occasionally to ensure even browning.
Once the takoyaki are browned and cooked through, remove them from the pan and plate them.
Drizzle the takoyaki with sugar-free teriyaki sauce and keto mayonnaise.
Optional: Garnish with bonito flakes and sesame seeds before serving.
