Recipe: Keto Apple Fritters
Ingredients: For the fritters:
- 2 cups almond flour
- 1/4 cup granulated erythritol (or your preferred keto-friendly sweetener)
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 large eggs
- 1/4 cup unsweetened almond milk (or any low-carb milk of your choice)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 medium-sized apples, peeled, cored, and diced into small pieces
- Coconut oil, for frying
For the cinnamon coating:
- 2 tablespoons granulated erythritol (or your preferred keto-friendly sweetener)
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Instructions:
- In a large bowl, combine the almond flour, granulated erythritol, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and salt. Mix well.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, almond milk, and vanilla extract.
- Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until a thick batter forms.
- Fold in the diced apples, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
- In a deep skillet or frying pan, heat enough coconut oil over medium heat to have a depth of about 1 inch.
- Once the oil is hot, drop spoonfuls of the fritter batter into the skillet, making sure not to overcrowd. Flatten each fritter slightly with the back of a spoon.
- Fry the fritters for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they turn golden brown. Transfer the cooked fritters to a paper towel-lined plate to absorb any excess oil.
- In a small bowl, mix together the granulated erythritol and ground cinnamon for the coating. Roll each warm fritter in the cinnamon coating until fully coated.
- Serve the Keto Apple Fritters warm and enjoy!
