Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup almond flour
- 1 tablespoon tapioca starch
- 1 tablespoon coconut flour
- 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoon sea salt
- 1 large egg
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil
- 1 cup dark chocolate chips (dairy-free, paleo-friendly)
- 1 teaspoon coconut oil (for chocolate)
- 1 teaspoon flaked 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, tapioca starch, coconut flour, baking soda, and sea salt. Whisk to ensure no lumps remain.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg, honey, apple cider vinegar, and melted coconut oil until fully incorporated.
Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix until a dough forms. The dough should be firm but pliable.
Take small amounts of dough and roll them into thin logs about 8 inches long and the thickness of a pencil.
Shape each log into a pretzel by forming a U shape, then crossing the ends over each other and pressing them into the bottom of the U, flipping to set. Place each pretzel on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 10 minutes or until the pretzels are golden brown. Let them cool completely on a wire rack.
While the pretzels are cooling, melt the dark chocolate chips and teaspoon of coconut oil in a heatproof bowl over a pot of simmering water, or in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second increments, stirring until smooth.
Once the pretzels are cooled, dip each one halfway into the melted chocolate, allowing any excess to drip back into the bowl.
Place the chocolate-covered pretzels back on the parchment-lined baking sheet. Sprinkle with flaked sea salt while the chocolate is still wet.
Allow the chocolate to set completely at room temperature or in the refrigerator.
Enjoy your paleo-friendly chocolate-covered pretzels!
