Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Almond flour
- 0.25 cup Coconut flour
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoon Sea salt
- 2 large Eggs
- 0.5 cup Coconut milk
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup Coconut oil (for frying)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, coconut flour, baking soda, and sea salt. Mix well to remove any lumps.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, coconut milk, honey, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Slowly add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until a thick dough forms.
Heat the coconut oil in a deep pan over medium heat until it reaches approximately 350°F (175°C). Use a thermometer for accuracy.
While the oil is heating, roll the dough into small balls, about 1 to 1.5 inches in diameter, ensuring they are uniform in size for even cooking.
Once the oil is hot, carefully place a few dough balls in the pan, being sure not to overcrowd. Fry them in batches.
Fry the dough balls for about 2-3 minutes on each side or until they are golden brown and cooked through. Use a slotted spoon to remove them from the oil.
Drain the fried dough balls on a paper towel-lined plate to remove excess oil.
Serve warm and enjoy your paleo-friendly fried dough balls as a delightful snack or dessert.
