Ingredients
- 1 cup almond flour
- 2 tablespoons coconut flour
- 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 3 eggs
- 0.5 cup coconut milk
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 2 tablespoons ghee or coconut oil
- 0.5 cup fresh corn kernels

Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine almond flour, coconut flour, baking soda, and salt.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, coconut milk, and honey until well combined.
Slowly add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until the batter is smooth and no lumps remain.
Fold in the fresh corn kernels, green onions, and chopped cilantro.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the ghee or coconut oil.
Once the oil is hot, pour about 1/4 cup of the batter into the skillet to form a cake.
Cook the corn cake for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
Transfer the cooked corn cakes to a plate and keep warm. Repeat with remaining batter.
Serve the corn cakes warm, garnished with extra cilantro or slices of avocado, if desired.
