GLAZE:

  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 teaspoons almond milk

INGREDIENT NOTES:

ALMOND FLOUR:

  • We utilize almond flour because it provides a soft texture and keeps the fritters low in carbs. As an alternative, you could utilize walnut flour.

COCONUT FLOUR:

  • We use coconut flour to absorb moisture and improve the texture of the fritters. Instead, you can use extra almond flour with slight liquid adjustments.

CHAYOTE SQUASH:

  • We utilize chayote squash because it mimics the texture of cooked apples while staying keto-friendly. As a substitute, you can use peeled zucchini, yellow squash, or steamed jicama.

APPLE EXTRACT:

  • Apple extract gives the fritters their classic apple flavor without adding sugar. You can replace it with apple bakery emulsion or extra vanilla extract with cinnamon.

KETO SWEETENER:

  • We use keto sweetener to add sweetness. Utilize xylitol as a different option.

BUTTER:

  • Butter provides richness and keeps the fritters moist. Instead, you can use coconut oil, avocado oil, or ghee.

ALMOND MILK:

  • We utilize unsweetened almond milk to create a smooth batter with fewer carbs. As a replacement, you can use coconut milk, cashew milk, macadamia milk, or diluted heavy cream.

EGGS:

  • Eggs provide the fritters’ shape and aid in binding the components. You can substitute them with flax eggs or chia eggs.

HEAVY CREAM:

  • We use heavy cream to prepare a rich and creamy sugar-free glaze. Instead, you can use coconut cream.

VANILLA EXTRACT:

  • The fritters’ sweetness and scent are improved by the addition of vanilla flavor. You may also utilize almond extract or vanilla bean paste.

XANTHAN GUM:

  • We utilize xanthan gum to improve the texture and help hold the fritters together. Utilize guar gum or simply omit it as per your preference.
