Keto Fish Batter

by

 

This Keto Fish Batter is a delicious and mouthwatering batter to prepare any type of fish. This batter is made with a combination of whey protein and almond flour along with spices like garlic seasoning, salt, paprika powder, black pepper, baking powder, eggs, and sparkling water to create a tasty batter. This batter is enough to prepare four fish fillets. This fish batter is gluten-free as well because it utilizes almond flour instead of traditional flour to prepare this batter. We can serve this dish with avocado slices, keto slaw, and cauliflower mash for a flavorful dinner or lunch. This Keto Fish Batter is not dairy-free, as it contains whey protein powder, so we can use pea protein to prepare the dairy-free batter.
