Ingredients
- 2 cups almond flour
- 0.5 cup arrowroot starch
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 cup coconut milk
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup coconut oil
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, arrowroot starch, baking soda, and salt. Stir until well mixed.
Step 2
In a separate bowl, whisk together the coconut milk, egg, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Step 3
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring continuously until a dough forms. The dough should be slightly sticky but hold together well.
Step 4
Prepare a skillet or deep pan by heating the coconut oil over medium heat. The oil should reach around 350°F for optimal frying, so if you have a thermometer, use it to check the temperature.
Step 5
While the oil is heating, roll the dough into small balls, about 1 inch in diameter, using your hands.
Step 6
Fry the dough balls in batches, placing them carefully into the hot oil. Fry each batch for about 3-4 minutes, turning occasionally, until they are golden brown and cooked through.
Step 7
Use a slotted spoon to remove the fried dough balls from the oil and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
Step 8
Serve the dough balls warm. They are perfect on their own or can be paired with a Whole30-compliant dipping sauce of your choice.
