Keto Pumpkin Fritters
Ingredients:
1 cup canned pumpkin puree
2 large eggs
1/4 cup almond flour
1/4 cup coconut flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
Avocado oil for frying
Instructions:
Prepare the Pumpkin Mixture:
In a large mixing bowl, combine the pumpkin puree and eggs. Mix well until smooth.
Add Dry Ingredients:
Add almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, salt, and black pepper to the pumpkin mixture. Mix the ingredients together until they are well combined.
Incorporate Fresh Ingredients:
Fold in chopped fresh parsley and grated Parmesan cheese (if using). This adds extra flavor to the fritters.
Let the Mixture Rest:
Allow the mixture to rest for 5-10 minutes. This helps the flours to absorb the moisture and makes it easier to form fritters.
Shape the Fritters:
Heat a skillet with avocado oil over medium heat. Take a spoonful of the mixture and carefully drop it into the hot oil, shaping it into a round fritter. Repeat, leaving enough space between each fritter to flip them easily.
Cook Until Golden Brown:
Cook the fritters for 3-4 minutes on each side or until they are golden brown. Use a spatula to flip them.
Transfer to Paper Towels:
When the fritters are done, place them on a plate lined with paper towels to absorb any extra oil.
Serve and Enjoy:
Serve the keto pumpkin fritters warm. They can be enjoyed on their own or with a keto-friendly dipping sauce.
