Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 1 lb diced green tomatoes
- 1 tbsp hot sauce
- 6 green onions, diced
- 2 tsp garlic powder
- 2 eggs
- 3 tbsp butter, melted, unsalted
- 1/3 - 1/2 cup coconut flour (depending on consistency - see note)
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- 1 tsp salt (or more if you like your food on the saltier side)
- 1/2 tsp xantham gum
- 1/4 cup unflavoured whey protein isolate
For frying:
- 1/2 cup coconut oil (plus more depending on the type of dish you use)
For the Sauce:
- 1/4 cup sugar-free hot honey
Instructions
- Place the green tomatoes and onions in the food processor and pulse until they have been broken down into small chunks.
- Place all the remaining hushpuppy ingredients in a food processor and pulse until combined. Heat the oil in a wok or other Dutch oven over medium heat until it reaches 350 degrees F. or just begins to boil.
- Drop 2 tbsp of batter into the hot oil and fry for about 3 minutes. Flip and fry for an additional 2 minutes or until golden brown. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate and repeat with the remaining batter.
Notes
- I like to use a Wok pan to fry so I do not have to add as much oil as other types of cookware. If you use a different type of pan, add enough oil to the pan so that there is about 1/2 inch of oil on the bottom.
- Depending on the size of your pan, you may be able to do all the hushpuppies at once - Since I use a wok, I can only do 4 hushpuppies at a time.
- Feel free to sprinkle the hushpuppies with additional salt after they have fried
- Start with 1/3 cup of coconut flour and add additional coconut flour until the mixture is soft but can be formed into a patty.
- I use an ice cream scoop or cookie dough scoop to measure out the batter
