Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups almond flour
- 1 tablespoon coconut flour
- 1 cup arrowroot powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 cup nutritional yeast
- 1 large egg
- 0.25 cup ghee
- 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
- 4 tablespoons water
- 1 tablespoon coarse sea salt
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, coconut flour, arrowroot powder, baking soda, salt, and nutritional yeast. Stir until well combined.
In a separate small bowl, whisk together the egg, melted ghee, apple cider vinegar, and water until emulsified.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until it forms a dough. The mixture should be soft but not sticky.
Divide the dough into 8 equal parts. Roll each part into a long rope, approximately 12 inches in length.
Shape each rope into a pretzel shape by forming a U-shape, twisting the ends twice, and then folding the ends back over the base of the U.
Place each formed pretzel onto the prepared baking sheet.
Sprinkle the pretzels with coarse sea salt.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the pretzels are golden brown and firm to the touch.
Remove from the oven and allow the pretzels to cool for at least 5 minutes on a wire rack before serving.
Enjoy these Paleo Cheese Pretzels as a snack or paired with your favorite Paleo-friendly dips!
