Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 Eggs
- 1 cup Almond flour
- 1 tablespoon Coconut flour
- 0.33 cup Coconut milk
- 1 cup Fresh corn kernels
- 2 Green onions, finely chopped
- 0.25 cup Chopped fresh cilantro
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Ghee or coconut oil
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs until they are well beaten.
Add the almond flour, coconut flour, coconut milk, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper to the bowl, and stir until a smooth batter forms.
Mix in the corn kernels, chopped green onions, and cilantro until they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add your choice of ghee or coconut oil.
Once the oil is hot and shimmering, scoop about 1/4 cup of the batter into the skillet for each corn cake, gently spreading it out to form a round disk.
Cook the corn cakes for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Adjust the heat as necessary to prevent burning.
Remove the corn cakes from the skillet and let them drain on a paper towel-lined plate.
Repeat the cooking process with the remaining batter, adding more ghee or coconut oil to the skillet as needed.
Serve the corn cakes warm, garnished with additional chopped cilantro or green onions if desired.
