Servings & Timing
Servings: 4 naan rounds
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 10 minutes
Total Time: 20 minutes
Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup almond flour
- 3 tablespoons coconut flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon xanthan gum
- ¼ teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons plain Greek yogurt (unsweetened)
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
- 1 large egg
Optional Additions
- 1–2 cloves garlic, minced (for garlic naan)
- Fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
Step 1: Preheat the Cooking Surface
Set a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium-high heat to preheat while you prepare the dough.
Step 2: Mix Dry Ingredients
In a medium bowl, whisk together almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, xanthan gum, and salt.
Step 3: Mix Wet Ingredients
In a separate bowl, combine the melted butter and egg. Stir in the plain Greek yogurt until smooth.
Step 4: Combine into a Dough
Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir until a dough forms. If the dough is too sticky, add a little more almond flour, one teaspoon at a time.
Step 5: Shape the Naan
Divide the dough into 4 equal portions. Roll each portion into a ball, then flatten into a round naan shape using your hands or a rolling pin.
Step 6: Cook the Naan
Place each flattened dough round onto the hot skillet. Cook for 2–3 minutes on each side until golden brown spots form.
Step 7: Add Garlic (Optional)
For garlic naan, sprinkle minced garlic onto the naan during the last minute of cooking, pressing lightly into the surface.
Step 8: Garnish & Serve
Sprinkle freshly chopped cilantro on top before serving. Serve warm with keto curries, dips, or use as a low-carb flatbread.
