Ingredients

• 1 cup almond flour
• 0.25 cup coconut flour
• 2 tablespoons tapioca flour
• 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
• 0.25 teaspoon sea salt
• 2 large eggs
• 2 tablespoons honey
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 0.5 cup coconut oil
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon
• 0 extra honey or maple syrup (optional, for serving)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the almond flour, coconut flour, tapioca flour, baking soda, and sea salt until well combined.

Step 2

In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs, honey, and vanilla extract until smooth and slightly frothy.

Step 3

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until a thick and sticky dough forms.

Step 4

In a heavy-bottomed frying pan or deep skillet, heat the coconut oil over medium heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).

Step 5

Using a spoon or small cookie scoop, drop small balls of dough (about 1 tablespoon each) into the hot oil. Avoid overcrowding the pan.

Step 6

Fry the dough balls for about 2-3 minutes per side, or until they turn golden brown and are cooked through.

Step 7

Transfer the fried dough balls to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.

Step 8

Sprinkle cinnamon over the hot dough balls for added flavor.

Step 9

Serve immediately with extra honey or maple syrup if desired.
