Ingredients

  • 3 tbsp boiling water

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup blanched almond flour
  • 2 tbsp psyllium husk powder
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp black sesame seeds
  • 1 tsp white sesame seeds
  • 2 tsp sunflower seeds
  • 1 tsp black chia seeds
  • ½ tsp Himalayan salt
  • ½ tsp garlic powder

Wet Ingredients

  • 2 eggs
  • 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar or lemon juice, white vinegar
  • 3 tbsp melted refined coconut oil or butter, lard, shortening, ghee

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 180C/350F.
  • In a bowl, mix the dry ingredients with a whisk. In a separate bowl, mix the wet ingredients. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix with a silicone spatula.
  • Slowly pour in the boiling water and continue mixing. The dough will thicken after a minute.
  • Separate the dough into 5 and form 5 balls with your hands (the batter is pretty sticky). You can spray some olive oil on your hands to make the dough not stick to you. Just roll the dough onto the palm of your hands to achieve perfect little balls.
  • Place the balls over a parchment paper on a baking tray and bake for 25 minutes. Take out and let cool before serving.

Notes

  1. The psyllium husk powder cannot be substituted or removed.
  2. Please don't leave out the boiling water. You need it to activate the psyllium.
  3. Make sure to use refined coconut oil instead of the extra-virgin kind as you'll get a coconut taste.
  4. If you double the recipe, you may need to add 1-2 tbsp of hot water to the batter.
  5. All of our ovens are different, so if you find yours to be too moist, just add 5 more minutes in the oven, or cook them at 190C/375F instead for 30 minutes.
