Ingredients
- 1 cup Almond flour
- 1 cup Coconut milk
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 tablespoon Stevia or low-carb sweetener
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Coconut oil
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, baking powder, salt, and stevia. Stir them together until fully combined.
Step 2
In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs until they are well beaten. Add the coconut milk and olive oil to the eggs and mix well.
Step 3
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until a smooth, batter-like consistency is achieved.
Step 4
Heat a teaspoon of coconut oil in a non-stick pan over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, pour a ladle full of batter into the pan and gently swirl it around to spread it into a thin circle.
Step 5
Cover the pan with a lid and let the appam cook for 2-3 minutes, or until the edges turn golden brown and the middle is set with little air bubbles.
Step 6
Using a spatula, carefully lift the appam from the pan and transfer it to a plate. Repeat the process with the remaining batter, adding more coconut oil as necessary.
Step 7
Serve the appams hot with your favorite low-carb chutney or curry.
