Keto Apple Fritter Bites

by

Keto Apple Fritter Bites are an appealing sweet snack. We make it with Chayote squash instead of apples to keep the carbs low and have cinnamon and nutmeg to provide the cozy, warm feeling in the fall season. They coat these bites with almond and coconut flour to prepare the sweet fritters. We sweeten this dessert naturally with Erythritol and fry it with coconut oil to prepare the crispy bites. These Keto Apple Fritter Bites are perfect to prepare for the chilly holidays or a cozy brunch. It is very easy to prepare these bites, and they store well, so we can also meal prep these bites.

INGREDIENT NOTES:

CHAYOTE SQUASH:

  • We use chayote squash or zucchini to prepare these fritter bites in place of apples to make the low-carb snacks. It is best to use chayote squash as the zucchini contains moisture, and it forms soft bites.

ALMOND FLOUR:

  • Almond flour coats the chayote squash, helping to form the texture of the fritter, and it includes fats and low carbs.

COCONUT FLOUR:

  • We coat these pieces in coconut flour as it absorbs the moisture and also provides a light sweet taste, and aids in the binding of the ingredients.

ERYTHRITOL POWDER:

  • We use it as a keto sweetener to provide the sweetness without the carbs..

HEAVY CREAM:

  • The recipe includes heavy cream to provide moisture in the batter, making it rich and smooth.

COCONUT OIL:

  • We use it to fry these fritters as it adds a sweet taste.

INSTRUCTIONS:

  1. Slice the chayote squash into small dice and properly dry with a clean towel to remove moisture.
  2. Stir the sweetener, vanilla, spices, and eggs with a whisk, then include almond and coconut flour, salt, and baking powder, and combine them.
  3. Then we can coat the chayote dice in a flour mixture along with heavy cream.
  4. Warm up the coconut oil on a moderate flame.
  5. Form the flat small mounds of batter and put them in oil to fry them for three minutes on all sides.
  6. Put the fritters on a paper towel and prepare the glaze with Erythritol powder, vanilla extract, and cream, and drizzle it on the fritters.

SERVING SUGGESTIONS:

  • They serve keto caramel sauce with these fritter bites.
  • These fritter bites serve along with keto coffee.
  • Sprinkle Erythritol powder on these bites before serving.

TIPS:

  • We have to squeeze all the moisture content from the squash to prevent the batter from getting soggy.
  • Utilize chayote squash instead of zucchini to have an apple-like taste, and it also reduces moisture content.
  • We fry the fritter bites in portion to achieve the crispiness.
  • You can properly rest the fritter before applying the glaze.
  • Sprinkle chopped walnuts or pecans for the additional crunch.

FAQs:

Can I make these fritters with apples?

  • We can’t make this recipe with apples if following the keto diet, as it raises the carb content, so it is best to stick with Chayote squash.

Can I prepare dairy-free fritters?
