Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Almond flour
- 0.25 cup Coconut flour
- 2 tablespoons Ground flaxseed
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 2 large Eggs
- 0.5 cup Yogurt (unsweetened)
- 0.25 cup Water
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Ghee or butter
Instructions
In a mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, coconut flour, ground flaxseed, baking powder, and salt. Mix well to ensure an even distribution of dry ingredients.
In another bowl, beat the eggs until well mixed. Add in the yogurt, water, and olive oil. Whisk together until smooth.
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring gently to create a smooth batter with a slightly thick consistency.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly grease it with ghee or butter.
Pour a small ladleful of the batter onto the center of the hot skillet and spread it gently with the back of the ladle to form a round pancake.
Cook for about 2-3 minutes, or until bubbles form on the surface and the edges start to set.
Flip the amboli using a spatula and cook for another 1-2 minutes, until both sides are golden brown.
Remove from the skillet and repeat the process with the remaining batter, adding more ghee or butter as necessary.
Serve hot with chutney or your favorite low-carb topping.
