Ingredients

• 150 grams Almond flour
• 30 grams Coconut flour
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Black pepper, freshly ground
• 2 large Eggs
• 50 grams Unsalted butter, melted
• 1 teaspoon Apple cider vinegar
• 100 grams Cheddar cheese, grated
• 50 grams Cream cheese
• 1 medium Egg yolk
• 1 tablespoon Water
• 1 teaspoon Coarse sea salt

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, salt, and black pepper.

Step 3

In a separate microwave-safe bowl, combine the grated cheddar cheese and cream cheese. Microwave for about 1-2 minutes, stirring every 30 seconds, until melted and well incorporated.

Step 4

Add the melted cheese, eggs, melted butter, and apple cider vinegar to the dry ingredients. Mix thoroughly to form a dough.

Step 5

Divide the dough into 8 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a 12-inch long rope, then shape it into a pretzel by forming a U-shape, twisting the ends, and pressing them onto the bottom of the U.

Step 6

Place the shaped pretzels onto the prepared baking sheet.

Step 7

In a small bowl, whisk together the egg yolk and water to create an egg wash. Brush this over each pretzel to give them a golden color when baked.

Step 8

Sprinkle the top of each pretzel with coarse sea salt.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 18-20 minutes or until golden brown.

Step 10

Allow the pretzels to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy them as a savory snack or with your favorite low-carb dip.
