Ingredients

• 1.5 cups almond flour
• 0.5 cup tapioca starch
• 2 tablespoons coconut flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
• 0.25 cup coconut oil (solid)
• 1 large egg
• 2 tablespoons water
• 4 slices bacon
• 0.5 cup dairy-free cheese
• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large bowl, combine the almond flour, tapioca starch, coconut flour, baking powder, and sea salt.

Step 3

Add the solid coconut oil to the dry ingredients and use your fingers or a pastry cutter to work it in until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 4

In a small bowl, beat the egg and water together. Pour this into the dry mixture, stirring until a dough forms.

Step 5

Divide the dough into four equal pieces. Roll each piece out between two sheets of parchment paper into a circle about 6 inches in diameter.

Step 6

Cook the bacon slices in a skillet over medium heat until crispy. Remove from the skillet and crumble once cooled.

Step 7

In a medium bowl, mix the crumbled bacon, dairy-free cheese, and chives thoroughly.

Step 8

Spoon an equal amount of the bacon mixture onto one half of each dough circle.

Step 9

Carefully fold the dough over to create a turnover shape, pressing the edges together to seal.

Step 10

Transfer the turnovers to the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they have enough space apart.

Step 11

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown.

Step 12

Allow to cool slightly on a wire rack before serving.
