Ingredients

• 2 cups Almond flour
• 0.25 cup Coconut flour
• 1 teaspoon Xanthan gum
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 2 large Eggs
• 0.25 cup Warm water
• 2 tablespoons Avocado oil
• 2 tablespoons Stevia or your preferred low carb sweetener
• 1 cup Avocado oil (for frying)
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon

Directions

Step 1

In a mixing bowl, combine almond flour, coconut flour, xanthan gum, baking powder, and salt.

Step 2

In another bowl, beat the eggs and then add the warm water, avocado oil, and sweetener.

Step 3

Gradually incorporate the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, mixing until a dough forms.

Step 4

Knead the dough gently for 1-2 minutes until smooth, then cover with a damp towel and let it rest for 10 minutes.

Step 5

Heat 1 cup of avocado oil in a deep frying pan over medium heat until it reaches about 350°F (175°C).

Step 6

While the oil is heating, dust a clean surface with a little almond flour and roll out the dough to about 1/4 inch thickness.

Step 7

Cut the dough into 2-3 inch squares or triangles using a knife or a pizza cutter.

Step 8

Fry the sopapillas in the hot oil, a few at a time, turning them as they puff up and turn golden brown, about 1-2 minutes per side.

Step 9

Remove from oil and drain on paper towels.

Step 10

Sprinkle the fried sopapillas generously with ground cinnamon and, if desired, a bit more sweetener.
