Total time: 40 minutes
Ingredients: (6 servings)
2 medium apples
1 tablespoon coconut sugar
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 cup almond flour
½ cup gluten-free oat flour
1 tablespoon coconut flour
A pinch of sea salt
1 teaspoon baking powder
2 large eggs
¼ cup Greek yogurt
¼ cup maple syrup
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
¼ cup almond flakes
Instructions:
- Remove the core from the apples, peel them, and cut into cubes. In a bowl, mix the apple cubes with coconut sugar, cinnamon, and lemon juice. Set this mixture aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together almond flour, oat flour, coconut flour, baking powder, and sea salt.
- In a separate smaller bowl, mix the eggs, Greek yogurt, maple syrup, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and fluffy.
- Pour the wet mixture into the bowl containing the dry ingredients. Stir gently with a spoon, being careful not to over mix.
- Transfer the batter to a greased or lined round baking pan (about 8 inches in diameter). Layer the apple mixture on top, pressing them gently into the batter. Sprinkle almond flakes over everything.
- Bake at 350°F for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown. Allow to cool on a rack before slicing.
