INGREDIENTS

• 1/2 cup toasted almond oil
• 1/2 cup coconut flour

PREPARATION

1. Preheat oven to 350°F.
2. In a bowl, sift together the coconut flour and almond flour with baking powder.
3. In a bowl of a standing mixer, whip the aquafaba with brown sugar, vanilla, and salt to obtain a very dense and stiff foam. To the whipped foam, gradually add the flour in three parts, stirring gently. Mix in the almond oil and blend thoroughly.
