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.
