Ingredients

• 1.5 cups almond flour
• 0.25 cups coconut flour
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 0.25 cups granulated erythritol
• 0.5 teaspoons xanthan gum
• 0.25 teaspoons salt
• 0.25 cups unsalted butter, melted
• 0.5 cups heavy cream
• 3 large eggs
• 1 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 0.25 cups powdered erythritol
• 2 cups coconut oil, for frying

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, granulated erythritol, xanthan gum, and salt. Stir well to combine all dry ingredients.

Step 2

In a separate bowl, whisk together the melted butter, heavy cream, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth and well combined.

Step 3

Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until a dough forms. The dough should be soft and slightly sticky.

Step 4

Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to let the dough firm up, making it easier to handle.

Step 5

On a lightly floured surface using coconut flour, roll out the dough to about 1/2-inch thickness. Using a sharp knife or pastry cutter, cut the dough into 2-inch squares.

Step 6

Heat the coconut oil in a deep-frying pan over medium-high heat to 350°F (175°C). Fry a few beignets at a time until they float to the surface and turn golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side.

Step 7

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

Step 8

Dust the warm beignets with powdered erythritol before serving.

Step 9

Enjoy these low-carb beignets either warm or at room temperature.
