    This Almond flour moi moi tastes just like the real moi moi. I usually don't enjoy low substitutes for high carb meals because I have tried quite some and many have been quite disappointing.

    Though some have turned out great. Most have not been worth my time. This almond flour moi moi is one of my great turn outs and is definitely a keeper.

    If you are African you probably know what moi moi/moin moin is. Moi moi/ Moin Moin is a pudding made from beans purée. The beans could either be black eyed peas or honey beans. This purée is mixed with certain ingredients before it is steamed or baked and end result is moi moi.

    Because of the carb content in beans, moi moi isn't allowed on a strict low carb diet like keto diet but may be allowed in a mild to moderate low carb diet.

    The purpose of this post is for those on a ketogenic diet. If you are on a mild to moderate low carb diet you can grab the recipes for the steamed moi moi and baked moi moi now.
