Ingredients

• 1 cup almond flour
• 2 tablespoons coconut flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 2 tablespoons granulated erythritol
• 1 teaspoon xanthan gum
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 2 whole large eggs
• 0.25 cup unsweetened almond milk
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 0.5 cup coconut oil
• 2 tablespoons powdered erythritol
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, granulated erythritol, xanthan gum, and salt until well combined.

Step 2

In another bowl, beat eggs and then add unsweetened almond milk and vanilla extract, mixing until smooth.

Step 3

Gradually incorporate the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring continuously until a smooth dough forms.

Step 4

Allow the dough to rest for about 5 minutes to let the flours absorb the liquid, creating a firmer texture.

Step 5

Heat coconut oil in a deep skillet or frying pan over medium heat to a temperature of approximately 350°F (175°C).

Step 6

While the oil is heating, lightly dust your hands with additional almond flour and divide the dough into 8 equal portions.

Step 7

Shape each portion of dough into a flat disc, roughly 1/2 inch thick.

Step 8

Carefully place each disc into the hot oil and fry for 2-3 minutes per side or until golden brown and cooked through.

Step 9

Use a slotted spoon to remove the fried dough from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.

Step 10

In a small bowl, mix together powdered erythritol and ground cinnamon. Dust this mixture over the warm fried dough before serving.
