Instructions
Tenders:

- In one shallow bowl – combine almond flour, coconut sugar, and all spices. Mix well.
- In another bowl, combine eggs and milk and whisk.
- Assemble:
- Dip tenderloin in egg mixture, let drip, and then dip in almond flour mixture and cover well.
- Repeat with all tenderloins.
- Cook:
- Place tenderloins on a greased skillet or grill pan over medium heat.
- Cook on one side for about 7 minutes, flip, and repeat. Outside should be nice and crispy when you are done!
