Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.5 cup coconut flour
- 0.5 cup almond flour
- 1 cup matured corn kernels
- 0.5 cup coconut milk
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup coconut oil
Instructions
In a medium mixing bowl, combine coconut flour, almond flour, baking soda, salt, and black pepper. Stir well and set aside.
In a separate large bowl, whisk together the eggs and coconut milk until smooth. Add the honey and mix until incorporated.
Gradually add the dry flour mixture into the wet ingredients, stirring until a smooth batter forms.
Gently fold in the matured corn kernels into the batter, ensuring they are evenly distributed.
Heat the coconut oil in a large skillet or deep frying pan over medium-high heat until shimmering.
Scoop spoonfuls of the corn batter into the hot oil, being careful not to overcrowd the pan.
Fry the nuggets for 2-3 minutes on each side or until they are golden brown and crispy.
Using a slotted spoon, transfer the cooked nuggets onto a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
Repeat the frying process with the remaining batter.
Serve the crispy corn nuggets warm with your favorite Paleo-friendly dipping sauce.
