Ingredients:
For the picarones:
1 cup (100 g) almond flour
2 scoops HLTH Code Vanilla
½ cup (120 g) pumpkin purée
2 medium sized eggs
1 Tbsp (15 ml) melted butter
1 tsp baking powder
½ tsp ground cinnamon
¼ tsp ground nutmeg
Pinch of salt
For the syrup:
2 Tbsp (30 ml) water
1½ Tbsp (22 g) monk fruit syrup
¼ tsp ground cinnamon
⅛ tsp clove
1 tsp fresh lemon juice
For frying:
Avocado oil
Instructions:
For the picarones:
In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, pumpkin purée, melted butter, and HLTH Code Vanilla until smooth.
Add the almond flour, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Mix until a thick batter forms.
Lightly wet your hands or use a piping bag to form ring shapes, like skinny doughnuts.
Heat the oil in a skillet over medium heat. Fry the picarones for 2–3 minutes per side, until golden brown.
For the syrup:
In a small saucepan, combine the water, monk fruit syrup, cinnamon, and clove. Bring to a gentle simmer for 2–3 minutes, then stir in the lemon juice. Remove from the heat.
Drizzle the warm syrup over the picarones, and enjoy immediately.
