# Ingredients:
→ Dry Ingredients
01 -
A quarter teaspoon of salt
02 -
Two teaspoons of baking powder
03 -
Two cups of finely ground almond flour (blanched)
→ Wet Ingredients
04 -
Three eggs
05 -
Half a teaspoon vanilla extract
06 -
Two tablespoons olive oil or avocado oil
07 -
A teaspoon of almond extract
08 -
Half a cup of pure maple syrup
→ Toppings
09 -
Optional: dusting of powdered sugar for the top
10 -
A quarter cup raw almond slices (or more if you'd like to serve with extra)
# Instructions:
01 -
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Coat an 8-inch round or springform pan with nonstick spray so the batter won't stick.
02 -
Scatter the almond slices on a small baking tray. Place it in the oven for about 5 minutes, keeping an eye on them so they don't burn. Once lightly browned, set them aside to cool.
03 -
Take a medium bowl. Combine the salt, almond flour, and baking powder, mixing until everything's well blended.
04 -
In a bigger bowl, combine the eggs, oil, maple syrup, and the two extracts. Use a whisk to mix it all until smooth and consistent.
05 -
Gradually add the bowl of dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring until the batter is smooth and lump-free.
06 -
Transfer the batter to the pan you prepared. Scatter the cooled almonds right on top for an even layer.
07 -
Place the pan in the oven and bake for 20–25 minutes. The top should turn golden, and when you poke a toothpick in it, it should come out clean.
08 -
Let it sit in the pan until cool. Add raw almond slices or sprinkle on some powdered sugar if you're feeling fancy before slicing and serving.
