Ingredients

• 1 cup Almond flour
• 2 tablespoons Coconut flour
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Onion powder
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 3 large Eggs
• 2 tablespoons Heavy cream
• 0.5 cup Cheddar cheese (shredded)
• 2 tablespoons Diced jalapeños (optional)
• 2 cups Avocado oil (for frying)

Directions

Step 1

In a medium mixing bowl, combine almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, salt, onion powder, and garlic powder. Mix well to ensure there are no lumps.

Step 2

In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs and heavy cream until smooth.

Step 3

Slowly add the wet ingredients to the dry mixture, stirring until fully combined.

Step 4

Fold in shredded cheddar cheese and diced jalapeños if using. The mixture should be thick and sticky; let it sit for 2-3 minutes to allow the coconut flour to absorb moisture.

Step 5

Heat the avocado oil in a deep skillet or medium saucepan over medium heat until it reaches 350°F. Use a thermometer to ensure the oil maintains this temperature for even cooking.

Step 6

Using a small cookie scoop or tablespoon, carefully drop rounded portions of batter into the hot oil (do not overcrowd the pan).

Step 7

Fry the hush puppies for 2-3 minutes on each side or until they turn golden brown and crispy.

Step 8

Remove the hush puppies from the oil using a slotted spoon and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.

Step 9

Serve warm with your favorite sugar-free dipping sauce or alongside fried fish and coleslaw.
