Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, sift together almond flour, coconut flour, erythritol, baking powder, salt, and xanthan gum to ensure even distribution.
In a separate small saucepan, combine almond milk and coconut oil over low heat, stirring occasionally until the coconut oil is fully melted.
Add the vanilla extract to the almond milk mixture and stir well.
Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients while mixing continuously to form a dough. The dough should be sticky but manageable.
Lightly wet your hands with water to prevent sticking, then pinch off a small portion of the dough (about 1 inch in diameter) and roll it into a ball.
Place the mochi balls on the prepared baking sheet, leaving a little space between each ball.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the mochi balls are lightly golden and set.
Remove the mochi balls from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Enjoy the mochi balls as a low-carb snack or dessert. Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
