Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Almond flour
- 1 cup Coconut milk
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 tablespoon Stevia or low-carb sweetener
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Coconut oil
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, baking powder, salt, and stevia. Stir them together until fully combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs until they are well beaten. Add the coconut milk and olive oil to the eggs and mix well.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until a smooth, batter-like consistency is achieved.
Heat a teaspoon of coconut oil in a non-stick pan over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, pour a ladle full of batter into the pan and gently swirl it around to spread it into a thin circle.
Cover the pan with a lid and let the appam cook for 2-3 minutes, or until the edges turn golden brown and the middle is set with little air bubbles.
Using a spatula, carefully lift the appam from the pan and transfer it to a plate. Repeat the process with the remaining batter, adding more coconut oil as necessary.
Serve the appams hot with your favorite low-carb chutney or curry.
