hey guys welcome back to my channel today we're going to be making a keto funnel cake that's going
to blow your mind i don't know if you guys caught it but last week i uploaded a video on how to make
french fries that tastes exactly like real fries a keto version for this recipe we're going to use
the same dough however we're going to modify it just slightly that dough has some magical
powers and if you follow the method i have on my video which makes them taste exactly like potato
french fries there's an extra special step i put in there in the cooking method i actually
take them out of the cooking oil halfway through and i slice them again to make them extra thin
that is very important for this recipe because when you make them and you slice them and you
put them in the oil they're going to puff up and they're actually going to be a little bit more of
like a dough like consistency so if you're making these as french fries you want to definitely check
out my french fry recipe and do the second cut that i have in the method there now that recipe
originally came from a vegan keto youtuber here on youtube she has a really cute story how she found
this recipe she was originally making noodles and she stumbled upon this dough that is super
versatile that is heavenly fan you definitely should go check her channel out i will also link
the video to the keto french fries at the end of this all right guys so for this recipe if you want
to skip ahead i do have channel chapters so if you just want to jump straight ahead to the recipe so
you can see how to make the dough how to turn it into the funnel cake you can do that but if you're
like okay i want to know a little bit more about this i'm going to share with you guys a little bit
of information so that you can perfect these and make them really really good first things
first i use the exact same dough which is the two ingredients coconut flour and xanthan gum i think
i'm pronouncing that correct this time around xanthan gum okay so you're going to be making
the dough that way now for this recipe i added in some sweetener into the dough to make it slightly
sweeter now like i mentioned before it's really important if you want these to be doughy that you
follow it with the method that i'm about to show you in this video if you make them super crispy
they might just come out a little bit more crispy and they might turn out tasting a little bit like
french fries if you do it that way but when you do it a little bit thicker a lot of you guys had
mentioned in the comments that you're turning these into like sweeter treats and that's so
cool so i was like i need to try that for myself and that's how i stumbled upon doing it like this
now for this recipe i am mixing the dough with a little bit of monk fruit sweetener it's like
a granular sweetener um replacement and so i'm doing that along with adding in some cinnamon
just for taste you can make this without doing that okay so if you're like alright well i
want to make this funnel cake but i only have the ingredients to make the fries well make the dough
the way you make the fries fry it up add the sweetener to the top of this um i'm using
like the maple flavored maple syrup for keto um you can also add confection sugar like i did with
mine on this i did that along with the maple syrup or you can just mix up some of the sugar with the
cinnamon so that's a really good way to do it as well so there's different ways for you to do that
to top them off i think you guys are going to find this will be a great option for you if
you're someone who's looking for dessert looking for a change or looking for something different so
i will see you right back here at the end of this video to give these a try and see how they taste
first we're going to start with our flour now you can make this with almond flour if you prefer but
it's going to be different measurements so for this recipe we're going to use coconut flour
xanthan gum this is the original dough so we're going to mix this up together
and here's where we add the slightly different ingredients to make this a little bit sweeter
now this is optional like i mentioned before you can make this with just the two ingredients and
it will come out great but if you do want to make it just a little bit sweeter feel free to add in
the cinnamon and a little bit of the granulated sugar now you want to make sure it's keto friendly
whichever one you choose and mix this up so for this recipe i'm using monk fruit
because it's my preferred method that i like and then we're gonna add seven to eight tablespoons
of hot water now it's really important that the water is hot and combine this all together
now once you really get this dough combined you wanna make sure you thoroughly mix it up and then
you can knead it into a ball so you're going to get this combined really really well and
then you're going to use your hands and you're going to knead it into a ball now make sure you
combine this really well because if you don't it's not going to come out correct so you definitely
want to make sure you spend some time kneading this and don't worry if it's a little bit sticky
that is normal it's going to firm up as you let it cool so i want you to let it cool all
the way you can even put it in the refrigerator if you want and then this is where we're going
to shape it a little bit so i found it's really easy to just smooth it out so that you can get it
to stretch out as much as you possibly can so that it's pretty thin like i mentioned before it's
going to puff up when you cook it and you want it to puff up so these slices do not cut them too
thick though make sure you're cutting them nicely and thin enough and they will stick together it's
going to be a little bit fragile as you move this over into the oil however make sure you're
not going too too thick because otherwise the interior will not cook so that's really important
that just make sure you you understand you don't want them to be super super thick you want them to
be nice and thin like this now whatever oil you choose i actually used coconut oil and
i recommend that oil actually for this as well as the french fries you will not taste the coconut if
you make the french fries with the coconut oil i made it after i made them with the olive oil like
it's recommended in that video because coconut oil is better for frying and it does work out
there's also some benefits to consuming coconut oil so that's why i chose this and with this
being a sweeter dish i wasn't really worried about it coming out and having a little bit of
a coconut flavor but like i mentioned before it doesn't so you're going to want to keep this on
a medium to low heat if you go too hot in the heat you're going to cook the outside
faster than the inside and it's going to burn so it's going to take you a little bit longer to cook
these because you want to get them nice and golden brown but you also want them to cook through
as they puff up so it took me about i think 12 minutes frying these to get them to the perfect
consistency so you just want them bubbling up as they're cooking and just give it a
little bit more time than usual compared to if you're frying something for the traditional way
you are probably going to be cooking it a little bit more quickly so with this
just give it give it time and then this step is important i let it cool and then i also
removed some excess oil and lastly you want to top with a sweetener of choice now i used the
keto maple syrup over the top of mine and then i added the powdered sugar the keto powdered sugar
but like i mentioned before you definitely could do like a cinnamon and keto sugar mixture and put
it on top because that's really good as well i made that before also all right guys we're trying
out our funnel cake keto funnel cake here it is um i have been on the hunt for some amazing recipes
lately for keto and like when i stumbled upon this after seeing heavenly fans recipe to kind of do
these different variations is like really kind of fun and cool so let's see how this one tastes
so good like i can guarantee you when i give these to my kids when they come home
they're gonna absolutely love it now here's the thing i'm gonna give you guys a trick
let these cool down because when you cook them you fry them they're gonna absorb quite a bit
of oil and so if you feel like they're greasy let them cool down definitely pat them off and they're
going to come out really great like really bread bread like consistency the sweetener in there
definitely added to that and like i mentioned before when you cut these super thin and you slice
them again throughout the frying process and put them back in the fryer you can make french fries
so if you haven't seen that video yet after this one you definitely want to slide over to
