INGREDIENT NOTES:
BUTTER:
- They help the texture to become golden brown and crispy. You can replace it with coconut oil for a non-dairy option.
ERYTHRITOL POWDER:
- It provides a gentle, sweet taste with a reduced-carb count. I utilize allulose or monk fruit instead of this, which also works perfectly for a keto diet.
SPICES:
- The spices used in this dish provide a warm taste in the fritters and help to improve the flavor. We can adjust their quantities for extra taste.
COCONUT FLOUR:
- This ingredient is a good absorber of water content and provides body to prevent the fritters from becoming soggy. Avoid using a large amount, since it could cause the texture to be gritty or dry.
PUMPKIN PUREE:
- It makes the texture softer and gives a natural, sweet taste with a juicy texture. Make sure you are using sugar-free for a low-carb version.
EGGS:
- This is an important component, which helps in binding the ingredients and maintaining the shape of the fritters. There is no keto alternative for this ingredient.
