  • Yield: 8–10 fritters (serves 2–3)
  • Category: Side Dish
  • Method: Frying
  • Cuisine: Amish-Inspired

Ingredients

  • 1 large sweet onion, finely chopped
  • 2 large eggs
  • ½ cup almond flour
  • 2 tablespoons coconut flour
  • ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
  • 2 tablespoons heavy cream or unsweetened almond milk
  • Avocado oil or vegetable oil, for frying

Instructions

  1. Finely chop the onion. If it releases a lot of liquid, gently pat it dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs and heavy cream until well combined.
  3. Add the almond flour, coconut flour, Parmesan cheese, baking powder, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Stir until a thick batter forms.
  4. Fold the chopped onion into the batter. Let the mixture rest for 2 to 3 minutes so the coconut flour can absorb moisture and firm up the batter.
  5. Heat about ¼ inch of oil in a skillet over medium heat until hot and shimmering.
  6. Drop heaping tablespoons of batter into the hot oil and gently flatten each fritter slightly.
  7. Fry for 2 to 3 minutes per side, or until deeply golden brown and crispy.
  8. Transfer the fritters to a plate lined with paper towels and serve hot.

Notes

  • Use sweet onions for the best flavor, but yellow or white onions work too.
  • Make sure oil is hot enough before frying to avoid soggy fritters.
  • To keep fritters crispy, avoid microwaving when reheating.
  • Add herbs or cheese variations for extra flavor.
