Ingredients
- 2 cups almond flour
- 0.5 cup coconut flour
- 0.5 cup erythritol or your choice of keto sweetener
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon xanthan gum
- 0.5 teaspoon nutmeg
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 2 large eggs
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups vegetable oil or coconut oil for frying
Directions
Step 1
In a large bowl, mix together almond flour, coconut flour, erythritol, baking powder, xanthan gum, nutmeg, and salt until well combined.
Step 2
In another bowl, beat the eggs and then add melted butter and vanilla extract. Whisk until combined.
Step 3
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until a dough forms. The dough should be soft but not sticky.
Step 4
Place the dough onto a piece of parchment paper and roll it out to about 1/4 inch thickness.
Step 5
Using a pastry cutter or knife, cut the dough into small squares or strips, approximately 1x1 inch in size.
Step 6
Heat the oil in a deep pan over medium heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
Step 7
Fry the chin chin in batches, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. Fry for 3-4 minutes or until golden brown, stirring occasionally to ensure even cooking.
Step 8
Remove the fried chin chin with a slotted spoon and place on a paper towel-lined plate to absorb excess oil.
Step 9
Allow the chin chin to cool completely before serving. Enjoy as a crunchy keto snack!
