Ingredients

• 1.5 cups almond flour
• 0.25 cups coconut flour
• 0.33 cups granulated erythritol
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon xanthan gum
• 0.5 cups butter
• 2 ounces cream cheese
• 1 whole egg
• 2 medium chayote squash, peeled and diced
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 0.25 teaspoon nutmeg
• 0.25 teaspoon salt

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine almond flour, coconut flour, granulated erythritol, baking powder, and xanthan gum.

Step 3

In a separate microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter and cream cheese until smooth, stirring to combine.

Step 4

Add the melted butter mixture and the egg to the dry ingredients and mix until a dough forms.

Step 5

Divide the dough into 8 equal pieces and shape each into a small ball. Flatten each ball into a round disc using your hands or a rolling pin.

Step 6

In a medium saucepan, combine chayote squash, lemon juice, cinnamon, vanilla extract, nutmeg, and salt. Cook over medium heat for about 5-7 minutes, until the squash is tender and the mixture is aromatic.

Step 7

Remove the squash mixture from the heat and let it cool slightly.

Step 8

Spoon approximately 2 tablespoons of the chayote mixture onto one half of each dough disc.

Step 9

Fold the dough over the filling to create a turnover shape and seal the edges by pressing down gently with a fork.

Step 10

Place the turnovers onto the prepared baking sheet and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown.

Step 11

Allow the turnovers to cool for a few minutes before serving.
