Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup almond flour
- 1/2 cup tapioca flour
- 1/4 cup coconut flour
- 1 cup water
- 1/3 cup coconut oil
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 4 eggs
- 2 tablespoons coconut sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine water, coconut oil, honey, vanilla extract, and salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low.
Add the almond flour, tapioca flour, and coconut flour to the saucepan. Stir vigorously until the mixture forms a ball and pulls away from the sides of the pan. This should take about 1-2 minutes.
Transfer the dough to a large mixing bowl and let it cool for about 5 minutes.
Once cooled slightly, add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. The dough should become smooth and glossy.
Using a piping bag fitted with a large star tip, pipe dough into circular shapes onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each cruller.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the crullers are golden brown and puffed.
Reduce the oven temperature to 350°F (175°C) and continue to bake for an additional 5 minutes to help them set.
Remove from the oven and let them cool slightly on a wire rack.
In a small bowl, mix coconut sugar and cinnamon. Sprinkle or dip the warm crullers in the mixture for a sweet coating.
Serve warm and enjoy your Paleo French Crullers!
