Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Yuca flour
- 0.5 cup Coconut flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 2 large Eggs
- 0.25 cup Coconut oil, melted
- 1 cup Unsweetened almond milk
- 1 cup Grated mozzarella cheese
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the yuca flour, coconut flour, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
In a separate bowl, beat the eggs thoroughly, then add the melted coconut oil and almond milk, mixing until smooth.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir with a spatula or spoon until the mixture forms a dough. It should be slightly sticky but easy to handle.
Fold in the grated mozzarella cheese until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Divide the dough into 6 portions and shape each into a flat, round patty about 1/2 inch thick. Place them on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, or until the arepas are golden brown and firm to the touch.
Remove from the oven and let them cool slightly on the baking sheet before serving.
Enjoy your Low Carb Arepas de Yuca warm, served with your choice of fillings or toppings.
