Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
1 1/2 cups almond flour
1 tablespoon coconut flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients
1/2 cup Greek yogurt (full-fat)
2 large eggs
2 tablespoons melted butter or ghee
1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
Optional Add-Ins
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon dried herbs (like parsley or cilantro)
Instructions
- Prepare the Dough
In a large mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, and salt. Mix well to ensure there are no lumps. In a separate bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, eggs, melted butter or ghee, and apple cider vinegar until smooth - Mix the Dough
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until a dough forms. If the dough is too sticky, add a bit more almond flour until it reaches a workable consistency. If using garlic powder and dried herbs, mix them into the dough at this stage. - Shape the Naan
Divide the dough into 6 equal portions. Roll each portion into a ball and then flatten into a naan shape using your hands or a rolling pin. Aim for a thickness of about 1/4 inch. - Cook the Naan
Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease with a small amount of butter or ghee. Place a flattened dough piece onto the hot skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Repeat with the remaining dough pieces. - Serve and Enjoy
Serve the keto naan warm, brushed with a little extra melted butter or ghee, and sprinkled with fresh herbs if desired. Pair with your favorite keto-friendly dips, curries, or use as a wrap for various fillings.
