Ingredients

• 200 grams Almond flour
• 50 grams Coconut flour
• 1 teaspoon Xanthan gum
• 200 grams Unsalted butter, cold
• 60 grams Erythritol
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 2 pieces Eggs, large
• 100 ml Heavy cream
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 30 grams Extra erythritol for dusting

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F) and line a muffin tin with paper or silicone liners.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, coconut flour, xanthan gum, and baking powder with half the erythritol. Stir in the salt.

Step 3

Chop the cold butter into small cubes. Using a pastry cutter or two knives, cut the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 4

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

Step 5

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry mix, stirring gently until a sticky dough forms. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 6

Lightly flour a clean surface with a bit of coconut flour. Roll out the dough into a rough rectangle, about 0.5 cm thick.

Step 7

Sprinkle a third of the remaining erythritol over the top of the dough.

Step 8

Fold the dough into thirds like a letter, then turn it 90 degrees. Roll it out again and sprinkle with another third of the erythritol. Fold, turn, and repeat once more.

Step 9

Cut the dough into 12 equal pieces. Roll each piece lightly into a ball, flatten slightly, and place into the prepared muffin tin.

Step 10

Sprinkle the tops with the reserved erythritol for dusting.

Step 11

Bake in the preheated oven for about 35-40 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and crispy.

Step 12

Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly in the muffin tin before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 13

Serve warm or at room temperature and enjoy this low-carb treat!
