Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups almond flour
- 1 cup arrowroot starch
- 1 cup nutritional yeast
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 1 cup water
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil (melted)
- 1 large egg
- 1 tablespoon coarse sea salt (for topping)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, arrowroot starch, nutritional yeast, baking soda, and sea salt. Mix well.
In a separate smaller bowl, beat the egg. Add the water and melted coconut oil to the egg and whisk to combine.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until a dough forms. The mixture should be pliable but not too sticky.
Divide the dough into 6 equal portions. Roll each portion into a rope about 12 inches long, then shape into a pretzel by forming a 'U', twisting the ends together twice, then folding the twist back over the center of the 'U'.
Place the pretzels on the prepared baking sheet. Brush each pretzel lightly with water and sprinkle coarse sea salt on top.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the pretzels are golden and firm to the touch.
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your Whole30 compliant cheese pretzels.
