Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Almond flour
- 2 tablespoons Coconut flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.5 cup Granulated erythritol or sweetener of choice
- 2 tablespoons Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 cup Unsalted butter, melted
- 2 Eggs, large
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 cup Almond milk (unsweetened)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, erythritol, 1 tablespoon of ground cinnamon, and salt. Mix well to ensure there are no lumps.
In a separate bowl, whisk together melted butter, eggs, vanilla extract, and almond milk until smooth.
Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir well to form a dough. Let the dough sit for a couple of minutes to allow the flours to absorb the liquid.
Divide the dough into 12 equal portions. Roll each portion into a long rope, about 8 inches in length. Twist each rope into a spiral or any desired shape and place them onto the prepared baking sheet.
In a small bowl, mix the remaining tablespoon of ground cinnamon with any additional sweetener, if desired, and sprinkle it over the cinnamon twists.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 18-20 minutes, or until the twists are golden brown and firm to the touch.
Allow the cinnamon twists to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve the cinnamon twists warm or at room temperature, perfect with a cup of coffee or tea.
