Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups Sweet corn kernels
- 1.5 cups Almond flour
- 1 cup Coconut milk
- 0.25 cup Coconut oil, melted
- 0.25 cup Honey
- 3 large Eggs
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Cinnamon powder (optional)
- 2 tablespoons Coconut sugar (optional, for sweetness)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x9 inch baking dish with coconut oil.
In a blender, combine the sweet corn kernels and coconut milk, and blend until smooth.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the almond flour, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon powder (if using).
In another bowl, beat the eggs, then add the melted coconut oil, honey, and the corn mixture from the blender. Mix well until fully incorporated.
Gently fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish and use a spatula to smooth the top.
Optionally, sprinkle coconut sugar evenly over the top for added sweetness and a caramelized finish.
Bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until the pamonha is set in the center and golden brown on top.
Allow to cool slightly before slicing. Serve warm or at room temperature.
