Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a shallow dish, combine almond flour, shredded coconut, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to form the breading.
In another shallow dish, beat the eggs until well blended.
Pat the pork chops dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
Dip each pork chop into the egg wash, ensuring it is completely coated.
Immediately dredge the egg-coated pork chop in the almond flour mixture, pressing down to help the breading adhere. Ensure all sides are evenly coated.
In a large skillet, heat coconut oil over medium heat. Once hot, add the breaded pork chops, cooking for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown.
Transfer the browned pork chops to the prepared baking sheet.
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes or until the pork chops have reached an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
Remove from oven and let the pork chops rest for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy your Whole30 breaded pork chops with your choice of compliant side dishes!
