Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Almond flour
- 2 tablespoons Coconut flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 3 large Eggs
- 2 tablespoons Heavy cream
- 0.5 cup Cheddar cheese (shredded)
- 2 tablespoons Diced jalapeños (optional)
- 2 cups Avocado oil (for frying)
Instructions
In a medium mixing bowl, combine almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, salt, onion powder, and garlic powder. Mix well to ensure there are no lumps.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs and heavy cream until smooth.
Slowly add the wet ingredients to the dry mixture, stirring until fully combined.
Fold in shredded cheddar cheese and diced jalapeños if using. The mixture should be thick and sticky; let it sit for 2-3 minutes to allow the coconut flour to absorb moisture.
Heat the avocado oil in a deep skillet or medium saucepan over medium heat until it reaches 350°F. Use a thermometer to ensure the oil maintains this temperature for even cooking.
Using a small cookie scoop or tablespoon, carefully drop rounded portions of batter into the hot oil (do not overcrowd the pan).
Fry the hush puppies for 2-3 minutes on each side or until they turn golden brown and crispy.
Remove the hush puppies from the oil using a slotted spoon and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
Serve warm with your favorite sugar-free dipping sauce or alongside fried fish and coleslaw.
