Keto Funnel Cake Recipe:
Ingredients:
- 1 cup almond flour
- 2 tablespoons coconut flour
- 2 tablespoons granulated sweetener (such as erythritol or monk fruit)
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 large eggs
- 1/4 cup unsweetened almond milk (or any preferred low-carb milk)
- Coconut oil or other keto-friendly oil for frying
- Powdered sweetener for dusting (optional)
Instructions:
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the almond flour, coconut flour, granulated sweetener, baking powder, and salt.
- Add the vanilla extract, eggs, and almond milk to the bowl. Whisk everything together until a smooth batter forms.
- Heat coconut oil or your preferred keto-friendly oil in a deep skillet or pot over medium heat. Make sure there is enough oil to allow the funnel cake to float.
- Once the oil is hot, pour the batter into a funnel or a squeeze bottle with a wide opening. Hold the funnel or bottle over the hot oil and carefully release the batter, moving in a circular motion to create a funnel cake shape.
- Fry the funnel cake for approximately 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown. Use tongs or a slotted spoon to carefully flip it over.
- Once both sides are cooked, transfer the funnel cake to a paper towel-lined plate to remove any excess oil.
- Repeat the process with the remaining batter, adding more oil if needed.
- If desired, dust the funnel cake with powdered sweetener before serving.
- Serve the Keto Funnel Cake warm and enjoy!
