Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup almond flour
- 2 tablespoons coconut flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 2 tablespoons granulated erythritol
- 1 teaspoon xanthan gum
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 2 whole large eggs
- 0.25 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup coconut oil
- 2 tablespoons powdered erythritol
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, granulated erythritol, xanthan gum, and salt until well combined.
In another bowl, beat eggs and then add unsweetened almond milk and vanilla extract, mixing until smooth.
Gradually incorporate the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring continuously until a smooth dough forms.
Allow the dough to rest for about 5 minutes to let the flours absorb the liquid, creating a firmer texture.
Heat coconut oil in a deep skillet or frying pan over medium heat to a temperature of approximately 350°F (175°C).
While the oil is heating, lightly dust your hands with additional almond flour and divide the dough into 8 equal portions.
Shape each portion of dough into a flat disc, roughly 1/2 inch thick.
Carefully place each disc into the hot oil and fry for 2-3 minutes per side or until golden brown and cooked through.
Use a slotted spoon to remove the fried dough from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
In a small bowl, mix together powdered erythritol and ground cinnamon. Dust this mixture over the warm fried dough before serving.
