Ingredients

• 1 cup almond flour
• 0.25 cup coconut flour
• 2 tablespoons arrowroot powder
• 2 large eggs
• 0.25 cup coconut milk (unsweetened, full-fat)
• 0.25 cup green onions, finely chopped
• 0.25 cup yellow onion, finely minced
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.5 cup ghee or coconut oil (for frying)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine almond flour, coconut flour, and arrowroot powder. Stir to combine.

Step 2

In a separate smaller bowl, whisk together eggs and coconut milk until smooth.

Step 3

Add the egg mixture to the dry ingredients, stirring until a thick batter forms.

Step 4

Fold in the green onions, yellow onion, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix until evenly incorporated.

Step 5

Heat ghee or coconut oil in a large skillet or deep pan over medium heat. The oil should be about 350°F (175°C) for frying.

Step 6

Using a small cookie scoop or tablespoon, scoop batter into small balls (about 1.5-inch diameter) and carefully drop them into the hot oil. Work in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan.

Step 7

Fry each hush puppy for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crisp. Use a slotted spoon to flip them and remove them once cooked.

Step 8

Transfer the cooked hush puppies to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.

Step 9

Serve warm and enjoy your Whole30 Southern Style Hush Puppies as a side dish or appetizer!
