Description
These soft and fluffy almond flour dumplings are a low-carb, gluten-free alternative to classic dumplings. Perfect for soups, stews, or keto comfort food.
Ingredients
1 cup almond flour
2 tablespoons coconut flour (optional, for texture)
1 teaspoon baking powder
¼ teaspoon salt
2 large eggs
2 tablespoons melted butter or ghee
1 tablespoon water or broth (if needed for consistency)
Optional: chopped parsley or herbs for flavor
Instructions
In a bowl, combine almond flour, coconut flour (if using), baking powder, and salt.
In a separate bowl, whisk together eggs and melted butter.
Add wet ingredients to the dry mixture and stir until a dough forms. If too thick, add 1 tablespoon of water or broth.
Let the dough rest for 2–3 minutes to firm up.
Scoop and gently roll the dough into small dumpling balls (about 1 inch).
Drop the dumplings into simmering soup or broth. Cover and cook for 8–10 minutes, or until dumplings are firm and cooked through.
Serve warm, garnished with fresh herbs if desired.
Notes
For a dairy-free version, use olive oil or coconut oil instead of butter.
Do not boil too rapidly—keep the soup at a gentle simmer to avoid breaking the dumplings.
Best added to brothy soups like chicken soup or vegetable stew.
Coconut flour helps firm up the dumplings but can be skipped if preferred.
