Description
Light, fluffy, and dusted with powdered sugar — these baked beignets are a healthier twist on the classic fried French pastry, perfect for breakfast or dessert!
Ingredients
1 ½ cups all-purpose flour (or gluten-free flour for GF option)
1 tbsp baking powder
¼ tsp salt
2 tbsp granulated sugar
½ cup milk (dairy or plant-based)
1 large egg
2 tbsp melted coconut oil or butter
Powdered sugar or erythritol for dusting
Optional: cinnamon or vanilla extract for extra flavor
Instructions
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar.
In another bowl, mix milk, egg, and melted oil until well combined.
Gradually add wet ingredients into dry ingredients and stir until a soft dough forms.
Roll out the dough on a floured surface to about ½-inch thickness.
Cut into small squares or diamond shapes.
Place on the baking sheet and bake for 12–15 minutes or until lightly golden and puffed up.
While still warm, generously dust with powdered sugar (or low-carb powdered sweetener).
