Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Almond flour
- 1 cup Tapioca starch
- 1 cup Nutritional yeast
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder (Paleo-compliant)
- 1 teaspoon Sea salt
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 2 large Eggs
- 0.5 cup Coconut milk (full-fat, canned)
- 1 tablespoon Apple cider vinegar
- 0.25 cup Sesame seeds
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine almond flour, tapioca starch, nutritional yeast, baking powder, sea salt, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix well to ensure there are no lumps.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, coconut milk, and apple cider vinegar until fully combined.
Slowly pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring consistently to form a dough. The dough should be slightly sticky but easy to handle.
Divide the dough into 8 equal portions. Roll each portion into a ball and then shape it into a ring. Place each ring on the prepared baking sheet.
Sprinkle sesame seeds evenly over the tops of the dough rings, gently pressing them into the dough.
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes or until the kaaks are golden brown and firm to touch.
Remove 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.
Serve warm or store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
