Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams Almond flour
- 50 grams Unsweetened shredded coconut
- 100 grams Erythritol sweetener
- 10 grams Baking powder
- 3 large Eggs
- 100 grams Unsalted butter (melted)
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 teaspoons Orange blossom water
- 1 pinch Salt
- 30 grams Sliced almonds (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease an 8-inch round or square baking pan with butter or line it with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine almond flour, shredded coconut, erythritol, baking powder, and salt. Stir well to ensure even distribution.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, melted butter, vanilla extract, and orange blossom water until well combined.
Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients mixture and mix until a smooth batter is formed. Ensure there are no lumps.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
Optionally, sprinkle sliced almonds over the top of the batter for added texture and aesthetic.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the surface is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Once baked, remove the pan from the oven and allow it to cool for about 15 minutes before slicing into squares or traditional diamond shapes.
Serve warm or at room temperature, and enjoy as a delightful low-carb dessert or snack.
