Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup almond flour
- 0.25 cup coconut flour
- 2 tablespoons tapioca flour
- 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoon sea salt
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup coconut oil
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- extra honey or maple syrup (optional, for serving)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the almond flour, coconut flour, tapioca flour, baking soda, and sea salt until well combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs, honey, and vanilla extract until smooth and slightly frothy.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until a thick and sticky dough forms.
In a heavy-bottomed frying pan or deep skillet, heat the coconut oil over medium heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
Using a spoon or small cookie scoop, drop small balls of dough (about 1 tablespoon each) into the hot oil. Avoid overcrowding the pan.
Fry the dough balls for about 2-3 minutes per side, or until they turn golden brown and are cooked through.
Transfer the fried dough balls to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
Sprinkle cinnamon over the hot dough balls for added flavor.
Serve immediately with extra honey or maple syrup if desired.
