Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup almond flour
- 0.5 cup arrowroot powder
- 2 tablespoons coconut flour
- 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
- 2 large eggs
- 0.25 cup unsweetened applesauce
- 0.25 cup coconut oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup coconut oil
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine almond flour, arrowroot powder, coconut flour, baking soda, and salt. Mix well to ensure there are no lumps.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, unsweetened applesauce, 0.25 cup coconut oil (melted if solid), and vanilla extract until smooth.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until a dough forms. The dough should be thick but slightly sticky.
Preheat the 1 cup of coconut oil in a deep pan or fryer over medium heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
Using a tablespoon or small scoop, portion the dough and roll into balls about 1 inch in diameter.
Carefully drop a few dough balls at a time into the hot oil, avoiding overcrowding the pan. Fry for 3-4 minutes until golden brown on all sides, turning occasionally.
Remove the fried dough balls using a slotted spoon and set them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
Repeat the frying process with the remaining dough balls.
Serve warm and enjoy your Whole30 classic fried dough balls.
