Ingredients
- 1 cup almond flour
- 0.5 cup arrowroot powder
- 2 tablespoons coconut flour
- 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
- 2 large eggs
- 0.25 cup unsweetened applesauce
- 0.25 cup coconut oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup coconut oil
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, combine almond flour, arrowroot powder, coconut flour, baking soda, and salt. Mix well to ensure there are no lumps.
Step 2
In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, unsweetened applesauce, 0.25 cup coconut oil (melted if solid), and vanilla extract until smooth.
Step 3
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until a dough forms. The dough should be thick but slightly sticky.
Step 4
Preheat the 1 cup of coconut oil in a deep pan or fryer over medium heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
Step 5
Using a tablespoon or small scoop, portion the dough and roll into balls about 1 inch in diameter.
Step 6
Carefully drop a few dough balls at a time into the hot oil, avoiding overcrowding the pan. Fry for 3-4 minutes until golden brown on all sides, turning occasionally.
Step 7
Remove the fried dough balls using a slotted spoon and set them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
Step 8
Repeat the frying process with the remaining dough balls.
Step 9
Serve warm and enjoy your Whole30 classic fried dough balls.
