Ingredients
- 1 cup Almond flour
- 2 tablespoons Coconut flour
- 1 tablespoon Psyllium husk powder
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 1 tablespoon Erythritol (granulated sweetener)
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 2 Eggs
- 0.25 cup Unsweetened almond milk
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons Butter (melted)
- 1 cup Coconut oil (for frying)
Directions
Step 1
In a large bowl, whisk together almond flour, coconut flour, psyllium husk powder, baking powder, erythritol, and salt.
Step 2
In a separate bowl, beat the eggs and then mix in almond milk and vanilla extract.
Step 3
Combine the wet and dry ingredients, then stir in the melted butter until a smooth batter forms. The batter should be thick but still slightly pourable.
Step 4
Heat the coconut oil in a deep pan or skillet over medium heat, making sure the oil is at least 2 inches deep.
Step 5
Once the oil is hot (test by dropping a small piece of batter in; it should sizzle and rise to the surface), use a small cookie scoop or tablespoon to drop portions of the batter into the hot oil.
Step 6
Fry the puff-puff balls in batches, turning them occasionally, until they are golden brown on all sides, about 3-4 minutes per batch.
Step 7
Remove the puff-puff from the oil and drain on a paper towel-lined plate.
Step 8
Allow to cool slightly before serving warm, optionally dusted with extra erythritol.
