Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup almond flour
- 0.25 cup tapioca flour
- 2 tablespoons coconut flour
- 0.5 cup coconut milk
- 0.5 cup water
- 4 tablespoons coconut oil
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 3 eggs
- 2 tablespoons honey (for glaze)
- 1 tablespoon coconut milk (for glaze)
- 1 tablespoon powdered coconut sugar (optional for glaze)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a medium saucepan, combine coconut milk, water, coconut oil, and honey. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
Once the mixture is boiling, reduce the heat to low. Add almond flour, tapioca flour, coconut flour, and salt, stirring continuously until the mixture forms a dough and pulls away from the sides of the pan. This should take about 1-2 minutes.
Transfer the dough to a mixing bowl and allow it to cool for about 5 minutes.
Using a hand mixer or stand mixer, add in the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition until the mixture is smooth and glossy.
Spoon the dough into a piping bag fitted with a large star-shaped tip.
Pipe rings onto the prepared baking sheet, about 3 inches in diameter, leaving space between each cruller.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the crullers are puffed and golden brown. Avoid opening the oven door too early as this can cause the crullers to deflate.
While the crullers are baking, prepare the glaze by mixing honey, coconut milk, and powdered coconut sugar in a small bowl until smooth.
Once the crullers are baked, let them cool on a wire rack for 5 minutes.
Drizzle the honey glaze over the warm crullers. Let the glaze set for a few minutes before serving.
Enjoy your Paleo Classic French Crullers with a cup of tea or coffee!
