    This recipe for Air Fried Low Carb Hush Puppies is a 'healthier' twist on a favorite recipe.
    I say 'healthier' because these Hush Puppies are not fried in oil
     
    Air Fried Low Carb Hush Puppies

    Air Fried Low Carb Hush Puppies

     
    These Hush Puppies are not only not fried in oil, they are also low in carbohydrates.
    For many of us, it is the frying in oil and the carbs that have kept us away from enjoying our hush puppies.
     

    Hush Puppies are a popular bread side or appetizer.
    We see them served in restaurants or when we dine with friends living in the southern part of the country.
    For many of us, Hush Puppies are basically fried cornmeal biscuits.
     

    The problem with hush puppies is that they are not the healthiest thing that we can eat.

    I am talking about those of us who need to avoid fried foods. Also, those of us who try to avoid eating a lot of carbohydrates.

    Hush Puppies are made with cornmeal and flour.
    They are seasoned to taste and then fried in oil. This is a pretty standard recipe for making Hush Puppies.

    However, we are going to make a few adjustments in this recipe.

    We are not going to use cornmeal as one cup of cornmeal has about 125 grams of carbs in it. Also, we will bake these in an air fryer rather than frying in oil.

    I should warn you that these Hush Puppies will not taste exactly like the ones that you may be use to eating.
    This is to be expected as we are taking out the cornmeal and not frying them in oil. However, this is a good substitute for anyone who is wanting to eat a hush puppy that is lower in carbs and not fried.

    You will need a few ingredients that you may not already have on hand.

    You are welcome to use cornmeal in your hush puppies as I have decreased the amount needed in this recipe from the original recipes.
    However, there are a couple of alternatives that you can try as well.

    First off, instead of cornmeal, you can use Almond Flour or Flaxseed Meal.

    While almond flour will behave like a flour and add some flavor, the flaxseed meal will give this a texture that is more like cornmeal.

    Almond Flour

    About the product
    Made from 100% California Natural Almonds
    Delicious In Taste, Perfect for Almond Flour Recipes
    Batch Tested and Verified Gluten-Free
    No Preservatives and Steam pasteurized
    Excellent as a wheat flour substitute.
    Almond flour is simply finely ground blanched (skinless) almonds. Grinding the almonds without the skins yields a finer-textured flour for better baked goods.

    Flaxseed Meal

    Bob's Red Mill Organic Golden Flaxseed Meal

    About the product
    One, 16 oz. bag (1 lbs.)
    USDA Certified Organic; Gluten Free; Vegan; Vegetarian; Paleo Friendly; Kosher Pareve
    Manufactured in a dedicated gluten free facility; R5-ELISA tested gluten free
    Omega-3 fatty acids; Good source of fiber; Contains lignans
    Vegan egg substitute. 1 net carb.
    Omega-3 fatty acids, 4g of fiber, and lignans make for a heart-healthy nutritional combination. Mild in flavor .

    Finally, you will need Carbquik Baking Mix.

    This is a product that I use quite often in my recipes.

    Carbquik Baking Biscuit Mix .
    Carbquik Baking Mix is a revolutionary baking mix for everyone counting carbs. However, it's made from wheat so it tastes like flour.
    No sugar - high in fiber - low sodium - high in protein

    The recipe for Air Fried Low Carb Hush Puppies

     
    As mentioned, this recipe calls for cornmeal. You are welcome to use cornmeal in your hush puppies as I have decreased the amount needed in this recipe from the original recipes.
    However, instead of cornmeal, you can use Almond Flour or Flaxseed Meal.

    What you will need to make this Air Fried Low Carb Hush Puppies
    Also, as mentioned above, you will need Carbquik baking mix.
     

    • Carbquik Baking Mix- 1 ยฝ cups.
    • Cornmeal- ยฝ cup. For lower a lower carb Hush Puppy, you can use Almond Flour or Flaxseed Meal.
    • Baking Soda- ยฝ teaspoon.
    • Salt and seasonings to taste.
    • Onion- 1 small chopped.
    • Eggs- 2 lightly beaten.
    • Buttermilk or similar dairy- ยฝ cup. . We want this thicker than a normal hush puppy batter as we will thus be forming the batter for baking rather than dropping it into hot oil. (If your batter seems too dry, simply add a bit more dairy a teaspoon or so at a time). Buttermilk in this recipe will add 6 carbs to total. However, you can try Greek Yogurt at 4 net carbs .

    How to make Air Fried Low Carb Hush Puppies

     

    • Preheat your air fryer to 400. I lightly spray my basket for nonstick.
    • In a medium bowl, combine together the Carbquik Baking Mix, cornmeal (or Almond Flour or Flaxseed Meal ) and baking soda. You can add any desired seasonings to taste here as well.
    • Next, stir in the eggs and then add in the buttermilk.
    • When you are able to form a hush puppy, place it into your basket, being careful that your hush puppies are not touching one another. When your basket is full, bake for 4 minutes, shake or flip your hush puppies, and then bake until done- about four to five more minutes.
