Preparation Time: 15 minutes
Cooking Time: 15 minutes
Total Time: 30 minutes
Servings: 4
Ingredients:
- 2 cups almond flour
- 1/4 cup granulated erythritol (or any keto-friendly sweetener)
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- Pinch of salt
- 2 large eggs
- 1/4 cup unsweetened almond milk (or any low-carb milk)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 medium zucchini, peeled and grated (to mimic the texture of apples)
- Coconut oil or ghee for frying
- Optional: powdered erythritol for dusting
Instructions:
- Prepare the Batter: (10 minutes)
- In a mixing bowl, combine almond flour, granulated erythritol, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and a pinch of salt. Mix well.
- Add the eggs, almond milk, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Stir until a smooth batter forms.
- Fold in the grated zucchini into the batter. The zucchini will provide a similar texture to apples without the carbs.
- Heat the Oil: (5 minutes)
- In a frying pan or skillet, heat enough coconut oil or ghee over medium heat. The oil should be hot but not smoking.
- Fry the Fritters: (10 minutes)
- Using a spoon or scoop, carefully drop spoonfuls of the batter into the hot oil, shaping them into small fritters. You can flatten them slightly with the back of the spoon.
- Cook the fritters for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Use a spatula to flip them gently.
- Drain and Cool: (5 minutes)
- Once cooked, transfer the fritters to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
- Allow the fritters to cool slightly before serving.
- Optional Dusting: (5 minutes)
- If desired, dust the cooled keto apple fritters with powdered erythritol for a sweet finish.
- Serve Warm: (0 minutes)
- Serve the keto apple fritters warm as a delicious low-carb treat. Enjoy them as a snack or dessert!
