Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups almond flour
- 1 cup tapioca flour
- 2 tablespoons coconut flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 1 tablespoon coconut sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 1 cup warm water
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil, melted
- 1 tablespoon coarse sea salt (for topping)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, mix the almond flour, tapioca flour, coconut flour, baking soda, and sea salt until well combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, apple cider vinegar, warm water, and melted coconut oil.
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until a dough forms. The dough should be soft but not too sticky.
Divide the dough into 8 equal parts and roll each part into a long rope, about 18 inches in length.
To form the pretzel shape, take one rope, form it into a U-shape, cross the ends over each other twice, and then fold them down to the bottom of the U to create the classic pretzel shape.
Place each shaped pretzel onto the prepared baking sheet.
Sprinkle coarse sea salt over the tops of the pretzels.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the pretzels are golden brown.
Allow the pretzels to cool slightly on the baking sheet before serving. Enjoy them warm or at room temperature.
