Ingredients

• 2 cups Almond flour
• 0.25 cup Coconut flour
• 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
• 0.25 teaspoon Sea salt
• 3 large Eggs
• 0.5 cup Ghee
• 0.5 cup Almond milk
• 1 tablespoon Honey (optional, for glazing)
• 1 tablespoon Coconut oil (for greasing)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a muffin tin with coconut oil and set aside.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine almond flour, coconut flour, baking soda, and sea salt. Stir well to ensure even distribution of all dry ingredients.

Step 3

In another bowl, beat the eggs and then mix in half of the melted ghee and the almond milk. Whisk until the mixture is smooth and well-combined.

Step 4

Gradually add the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring until a dough forms. The dough should be slightly sticky but firm enough to handle.

Step 5

Divide the dough into six equal parts. Flatten each part into a rough circle using your hands or a rolling pin, approximately 1/4 inch thick.

Step 6

Brush each circle with a little of the remaining melted ghee, then fold the edges towards the center, creating multiple layers.

Step 7

Place each folded dough into a greased muffin cup. If desired, lightly drizzle a small amount of honey on top of each dough piece for added caramelization.

Step 8

Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and the edges are crisp.

Step 9

Let the kouign-amanns cool in the tin for about 5 minutes before removing them. Serve warm.
