Roasted Chestnut Fritters

Roasted Chestnut Fritters are a delightful, nutty twist on traditional breakfast fare, offering a warm and satisfying start to your day. These fritters are crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, making them a perfect Paleo-friendly option for those seeking a hearty meal.

Ingredients

• Roasted chestnuts - 200 grams
• Almond flour - 100 grams
• Eggs - 2 large
• Coconut milk - 60 ml
• Honey - 1 tablespoon
• Cinnamon - 1 teaspoon
• Salt - 1/2 teaspoon
• Baking powder - 1 teaspoon
• Coconut oil - for frying

Steps

1. Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and place the roasted chestnuts in a bowl. Mash them lightly with a fork, leaving some chunks for texture.
2. In a separate bowl, combine almond flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. Mix well.
3. In another bowl, whisk together the eggs, coconut milk, and honey until smooth.
4. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Gently fold in the mashed chestnuts.
5. Heat coconut oil in a skillet over medium heat. Once hot, drop spoonfuls of the batter into the skillet, flattening them slightly with the back of the spoon.
6. Cook each fritter for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through. Adjust the heat as necessary to avoid burning.
7. Remove the fritters from the skillet and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Serve warm.
