Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Almond flour
- 2 tablespoons Coconut flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Onion powder
- 2 large Eggs
- 3 tablespoons Unsweetened almond milk
- 0.5 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 tablespoons Chopped green onions
- 1 cup Avocado oil or other frying oil
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, salt, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix until evenly combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs and almond milk until well blended.
Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir until a thick batter forms.
Fold in the shredded cheddar cheese and chopped green onions for added flavor and texture.
Heat the avocado oil in a deep skillet or heavy-bottomed pot over medium heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). Use a candy thermometer to monitor the temperature for accurate frying.
Using a small cookie scoop or a tablespoon, carefully drop scoops of batter into the hot oil, frying in small batches to avoid overcrowding.
Fry each hush puppy for approximately 2-3 minutes per side or until golden brown and cooked through. Use a slotted spoon to turn them over during frying to ensure even cooking.
Remove the cooked hush puppies using a slotted spoon and drain on a plate lined with paper towels to soak up any excess oil.
Repeat the frying process until all the batter is used.
Serve warm as a side dish or with your favorite dipping sauce. Enjoy!
