Ingredients
- 1 cup Yuca flour
- 1 cup Almond flour
- 2 large Egg
- 1 cup Cheddar cheese, shredded
- 2 tablespoons Coconut oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Water
Directions
Step 1
In a large bowl, combine yuca flour, almond flour, and salt. Mix well to ensure even distribution of the ingredients.
Step 2
Add the eggs and water to the dry ingredients. Stir until you achieve a sticky dough-like consistency.
Step 3
Fold in the shredded cheddar cheese, mixing it into the dough until evenly incorporated.
Step 4
Divide the dough into 8 equal parts. Roll each portion into a ball and then flatten them into discs about 1/2 inch thick with your hands.
Step 5
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the coconut oil.
Step 6
Once the oil is hot, add the arepas to the skillet, ensuring they don't touch each other.
Step 7
Cook the arepas for about 5 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through.
Step 8
Transfer the cooked arepas to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
Step 9
Serve warm. These arepas can be eaten on their own or filled with your favorite keto-friendly toppings.
