Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Fresh sweet corn kernels
- 4 large Eggs
- 1 cup Unsalted butter
- 0.75 cup Granulated erythritol
- 1 cup Almond flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Grease a medium-sized baking dish or cake pan with a small amount of butter to prevent sticking.
In a food processor, pulse the fresh sweet corn kernels until they are roughly pureed. It's okay if some texture remains.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the eggs until light and fluffy using an electric mixer.
Melt the unsalted butter in a small saucepan over low heat, or in a microwave-safe bowl, and let it cool slightly.
Add the melted butter and granulated erythritol to the eggs and beat until well combined.
Mix in the pureed corn, almond flour, baking powder, vanilla extract, and salt. Stir until the batter is smooth and evenly blended.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Allow the pastel de elote to cool in the pan for at least 10 minutes before serving.
Cut into squares and enjoy your low carb pastel de elote warm or at room temperature.
