Step-by-Step Instructions for Keto Arepas Recipe
  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of almond flour, 2 tablespoons of psyllium husk, 1 cup of shredded mozzarella, and a pinch of salt. Whisk them together thoroughly until all dry ingredients are evenly distributed.
  2. Crack one large egg into the dry mixture and begin stirring with a spoon or spatula until fully incorporated.
  3. Gradually add about 1/4 cup of warm water to the mixture, stirring continuously until a soft dough forms. Allow the dough to rest for about 5 minutes.
  4. Divide your rested dough into four equal parts, roll each into a ball, and then flatten into a disc about ½ inch thick.
  5. Warm a nonstick skillet over medium heat and add a tablespoon of butter or oil. Let the butter melt completely.
  6. Carefully place the shaped arepas onto the hot skillet, cooking them for about 4 to 5 minutes on each side until golden brown.
  7. After cooking, transfer the Keto Arepas to a plate and let them cool slightly for 2-3 minutes before slicing to fill.
