Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a mixing bowl, combine almond flour, coconut flour, and xanthan gum. Mix thoroughly.
In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the butter and cream cheese together. Stir until smooth.
Add the melted butter and cream cheese mixture to the dry ingredients and combine well.
Stir in the large egg and baking powder until a dough forms. If the dough is too sticky, add a little more almond flour.
Divide dough into 8 equal portions and roll each into a ball.
Flatten each ball into a disc shape using your hands or a rolling pin, approximately 3mm thick.
Place a heaping teaspoon of sugar-free kaya in the center of each disc.
Carefully fold the disc over the filling to form a half-moon shape. Seal the edges by pinching them together or pressing with a fork.
Place the kaya puffs on the prepared baking sheet.
Beat the egg yolk with a splash of water to form an egg wash. Brush each puff with the egg wash.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown.
Allow the puffs to cool slightly on a wire rack before serving.
Enjoy your Keto Kaya Puffs warm or at room temperature for a delicious low-carb treat.
