Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cans (100g each) sardines in olive oil
- 1 cup almond flour
- 2 tablespoons coconut flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
- 3 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
- 2 tablespoons chopped scallions
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 3 tablespoons coconut oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Drain the sardines and set them aside in a mixing bowl. Mash them with a fork until they reach a uniform consistency.
In a separate bowl, mix together the almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, and sea salt.
In another bowl, beat the eggs lightly, then add the lemon juice, parsley, scallions, and garlic powder. Stir to combine.
Pour the egg mixture into the sardines, mixing thoroughly.
Gradually incorporate the dry ingredients into the sardine and egg mixture, stirring until just combined.
Melt the coconut oil and allow it to cool slightly before folding it into the sardine batter. Mix until smooth.
Using a spoon, scoop the batter onto the prepared baking sheet, forming small mounds about 2 inches apart.
Bake the puffs in the preheated oven for about 18-20 minutes, or until slightly golden and set.
Remove from the oven and cool on a wire rack for a few minutes before serving warm.
