Ingredients

• 2 cups Cauliflower rice
• 1 cup Coconut milk
• 0.5 cup Almond flour
• 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 1 large Egg
• 1 tablespoon Coconut oil
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil (for greasing)

Directions

Step 1

Place the cauliflower rice in a food processor and blend until the texture resembles fine couscous.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the blended cauliflower rice, coconut milk, and almond flour. Mix until well combined.

Step 3

Stir in the baking soda and salt, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.

Step 4

Add the egg and coconut oil to the mixture, stirring until smooth and all ingredients are fully incorporated.

Step 5

Let the batter sit for about 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.

Step 6

Heat a small non-stick frying pan over medium heat and lightly grease it with olive oil.

Step 7

Once the pan is hot, pour a ladleful of batter into the center of the pan and gently swirl it to spread into a round shape, forming a thin layer.

Step 8

Cover the pan with a lid and cook for about 2-3 minutes, or until bubbles start forming on the surface and the edges begin to lift from the pan.

Step 9

Carefully remove the appam using a spatula. Repeat with the remaining batter, greasing the pan as necessary.

Step 10

Serve warm with your favorite Whole30-compliant curry or dish.
