Ingredients

• 2 Eggs
• 1 cup Almond flour
• 1 tablespoon Coconut flour
• 0.33 cup Coconut milk
• 1 cup Fresh corn kernels
• 2 Green onions, finely chopped
• 0.25 cup Chopped fresh cilantro
• 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Onion powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Ghee or coconut oil

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs until they are well beaten.

Step 2

Add the almond flour, coconut flour, coconut milk, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper to the bowl, and stir until a smooth batter forms.

Step 3

Mix in the corn kernels, chopped green onions, and cilantro until they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.

Step 4

Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add your choice of ghee or coconut oil.

Step 5

Once the oil is hot and shimmering, scoop about 1/4 cup of the batter into the skillet for each corn cake, gently spreading it out to form a round disk.

Step 6

Cook the corn cakes for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Adjust the heat as necessary to prevent burning.

Step 7

Remove the corn cakes from the skillet and let them drain on a paper towel-lined plate.

Step 8

Repeat the cooking process with the remaining batter, adding more ghee or coconut oil to the skillet as needed.

Step 9

Serve the corn cakes warm, garnished with additional chopped cilantro or green onions if desired.
