Ingredients

• 2 cups Almond flour
• 1 cup Tapioca starch
• 1 cup Nutritional yeast
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder (Paleo-compliant)
• 1 teaspoon Sea salt
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Onion powder
• 2 large Eggs
• 0.5 cup Coconut milk (full-fat, canned)
• 1 tablespoon Apple cider vinegar
• 0.25 cup Sesame seeds

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine almond flour, tapioca starch, nutritional yeast, baking powder, sea salt, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix well to ensure there are no lumps.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, coconut milk, and apple cider vinegar until fully combined.

Step 4

Slowly pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring consistently to form a dough. The dough should be slightly sticky but easy to handle.

Step 5

Divide the dough into 8 equal portions. Roll each portion into a ball and then shape it into a ring. Place each ring on the prepared baking sheet.

Step 6

Sprinkle sesame seeds evenly over the tops of the dough rings, gently pressing them into the dough.

Step 7

Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes or until the kaaks are golden brown and firm to touch.

Step 8

Remove from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 9

Serve warm or store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
