Keto Pumpkin Fritters
Free Keto Meal Plan : KETO DIET PLAN FOR BEGINNERS STEP BY STEP GUIDE
Ingredients:
- 1 cup cooked and mashed pumpkin (canned pumpkin puree works well)
- 2 large eggs
- 1/4 cup almond flour
- 2 tablespoons coconut flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice (or a blend of cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves)
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- Sweetener to taste (such as erythritol or stevia)
- Coconut oil or butter for frying
Instructions:
- In a mixing bowl, combine the cooked and mashed pumpkin with the eggs. Mix until well combined.
- Add the almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, pumpkin pie spice, salt, and sweetener to the bowl. Stir until all the ingredients are thoroughly mixed, and there are no lumps.
- Let the batter rest for a few minutes to allow the coconut flour to absorb the moisture.
- Heat a skillet or frying pan over medium heat and add a small amount of coconut oil or butter to grease the pan.
- Once the pan is hot, spoon the batter onto the pan to form fritters. Use a spoon to spread the batter into circular shapes.
- Cook the fritters for a few minutes on each side, until they are golden brown and cooked through. Be gentle when flipping them to avoid breaking them apart.
- Once the fritters are cooked, transfer them to a paper towel-lined plate to absorb any excess oil.
- Serve the keto pumpkin fritters warm. You can enjoy them as they are or top them with a dollop of whipped cream or a sprinkle of cinnamon.
