Ingredients

• 1 cup Almond flour
• 2 tablespoons Coconut flour
• 1 cup Erythritol (granulated sugar substitute)
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 6 ounces Unsalted butter
• 2 large Eggs
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with parchment paper or use silicone muffin molds.

Step 2

In a medium-sized bowl, combine almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, and salt. Mix well to ensure there are no lumps.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, cream together 4 ounces of the butter and erythritol using a hand mixer until light and fluffy.

Step 4

Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients until a dough forms. The dough should be slightly sticky but firm.

Step 6

Lightly flour a clean surface with a small amount of almond flour and shape the dough into a rectangular shape. Cut into 8 equal portions.

Step 7

Cube the remaining 2 ounces of butter, and insert a cube into the center of each dough portion.

Step 8

Roll each piece into a ball, ensuring the butter is enclosed, then flatten slightly and place it into prepared muffin tins.

Step 9

Sprinkle each portion with a little extra erythritol to mimic the caramelized effect of a traditional Kouign Amann.

Step 10

Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown and firm to the touch.

Step 11

Remove from the oven and let them cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 12

Serve warm or at room temperature, enjoying the sweet, buttery layers of this keto-friendly treat.
