Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Almond flour
- 0.25 cup Coconut flour
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoon Sea salt
- 3 large Eggs
- 0.5 cup Ghee
- 0.5 cup Almond milk
- 1 tablespoon Honey (optional, for glazing)
- 1 tablespoon Coconut oil (for greasing)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a muffin tin with coconut oil and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine almond flour, coconut flour, baking soda, and sea salt. Stir well to ensure even distribution of all dry ingredients.
In another bowl, beat the eggs and then mix in half of the melted ghee and the almond milk. Whisk until the mixture is smooth and well-combined.
Gradually add the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring until a dough forms. The dough should be slightly sticky but firm enough to handle.
Divide the dough into six equal parts. Flatten each part into a rough circle using your hands or a rolling pin, approximately 1/4 inch thick.
Brush each circle with a little of the remaining melted ghee, then fold the edges towards the center, creating multiple layers.
Place each folded dough into a greased muffin cup. If desired, lightly drizzle a small amount of honey on top of each dough piece for added caramelization.
Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and the edges are crisp.
Let the kouign-amanns cool in the tin for about 5 minutes before removing them. Serve warm.
