Keto pumpkin fritters offer a delightful twist on traditional fritters, providing a low-carb alternative that’s bursting with autumnal flavors. These fritters are perfect for those following a ketogenic diet or anyone looking to enjoy a tasty, guilt-free treat.
To make these fritters, you’ll need:
- 1 cup pumpkin puree (unsweetened)
- 2 large eggs
- 1/4 cup almond flour
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Olive oil or coconut oil for frying
Begin by combining the pumpkin puree, eggs, almond flour, Parmesan cheese, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, and pepper in a mixing bowl. Stir until all the ingredients are well incorporated and a smooth batter forms.
Heat a skillet over medium heat and add enough olive oil or coconut oil to cover the bottom of the skillet. Once the oil is hot, spoon the pumpkin batter into the skillet, forming small fritters with about 2 tablespoons of batter each. Cook the fritters for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and crispy.
