Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup almond flour
- 0.25 cup coconut flour
- 2 tablespoons arrowroot powder
- 2 large eggs
- 0.25 cup coconut milk (unsweetened, full-fat)
- 0.25 cup green onions, finely chopped
- 0.25 cup yellow onion, finely minced
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 cup ghee or coconut oil (for frying)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine almond flour, coconut flour, and arrowroot powder. Stir to combine.
In a separate smaller bowl, whisk together eggs and coconut milk until smooth.
Add the egg mixture to the dry ingredients, stirring until a thick batter forms.
Fold in the green onions, yellow onion, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix until evenly incorporated.
Heat ghee or coconut oil in a large skillet or deep pan over medium heat. The oil should be about 350°F (175°C) for frying.
Using a small cookie scoop or tablespoon, scoop batter into small balls (about 1.5-inch diameter) and carefully drop them into the hot oil. Work in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan.
Fry each hush puppy for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crisp. Use a slotted spoon to flip them and remove them once cooked.
Transfer the cooked hush puppies to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
Serve warm and enjoy your Whole30 Southern Style Hush Puppies as a side dish or appetizer!
