Keto Arepas Recipe

Print Recipe

Keto arepas made with almond flour, cheese, and no corn. Crispy outside, soft inside, perfect for stuffing with shredded meat, eggs, or cheese. Low carb, gluten-free, and tastes just like the original Venezuelan arepas recipe. Great for keto diet breakfast ideas, leftover ideas, or as low carb side dishes.

Ingredients

Scale

  • 1 cup almond flour

  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella

  • 1 tbsp psyllium husk

  • 1 egg

  • ¼ cup warm water

  • ¼ tsp salt

  • Butter or oil (for frying)

Optional Arepa Fillings:

  • Shredded chicken or beef

  • Cheese

  • Avocado

  • Fried or scrambled egg

  • Guacamole or sour cream

Instructions

  • Mix almond flour, psyllium husk, cheese, and salt in a bowl.

  • Add egg and mix well. Slowly pour in warm water until the dough is soft and easy to shape.

  • Divide into 4 balls and flatten into thick discs.

  • Heat a nonstick pan with butter or oil. Cook each arepa for 4–5 minutes per side until golden brown.

  • Let them rest a bit, then slice open and fill with your favorite arepa filling.

Notes

  • Psyllium husk helps with texture. If you skip it, dough might be more crumbly.

  • Coconut flour can be used, but use only ¼ cup instead of 1 cup almond.

  • Reheat leftovers in a toaster oven for best crisp.

  • These are perfect for breakfast Mexican ideas, columbian recipes, or easy hispanic recipes.
