Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Almond flour
- 0.25 cup Coconut flour
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cardamom
- 0.5 cup Coconut sugar
- 1 cup Full-fat coconut milk
- 3 large Eggs
- 0.25 cup Ghee or coconut oil
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons Unsweetened shredded coconut
- 2 tablespoons Chopped nuts (e.g. almonds or pistachios)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8-inch round baking pan with a little ghee or coconut oil and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, coconut flour, baking soda, ground cardamom, and coconut sugar. Whisk the dry ingredients together until well mixed.
In another bowl, whisk the coconut milk, eggs, melted ghee or coconut oil, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until well combined. Ensure there are no lumps and the batter is smooth.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
Sprinkle the shredded coconut and chopped nuts evenly over the top of the batter.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove the Besan Pola from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Slice and serve your Paleo Besan Pola warm or at room temperature.
