- 1.5 cups Unsweetened almond milk
- 0.5 cup Olive oil
- 3 large Eggs

Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9x9 inch baking pan.
In a large mixing bowl, combine almond flour, erythritol, baking powder, and turmeric. Mix until well blended.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the almond milk, olive oil, and eggs until thoroughly combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until the mixture is smooth and lump-free.

Sprinkle pine nuts evenly on top of the batter if using.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
