Ingredients

Scale
  • ½ cup almond flour (blanched, finely ground)
  • ½ cup shelled pistachios (unsalted, finely ground)
  • ⅓ cup all-purpose gluten-free flour blend (ensure it contains xanthan gum)
  • ¾ cup powdered sugar (organic to ensure it's vegan)
  • ½ tsp baking powder
  • ¼ tsp fine sea salt
  • ½ cup extra virgin olive oil (a mild one works best)
  • ⅓ cup unsweetened almond milk (or other plant milk)
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice (for a slight tang and to help activate the baking powder)
  • 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • ¼ tsp almond extract (optional but adds complexity)
  • Crushed pistachios
  • A light dusting of powdered sugar after baking
  • Thinly sliced strawberries or raspberries for serving

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Prepare your baking tray by greasing it lightly or using parchment paper.
  3. In a mixing bowl, whisk together almond flour, ground pistachios, gluten-free flour blend, powdered sugar, baking powder, and fine sea salt.
  4. In another bowl, mix extra virgin olive oil, unsweetened almond milk, lemon juice, vanilla extract, and almond extract until smooth.
  5. Combine wet and dry ingredients gently using a rubber spatula until just mixed.
  6. Spoon the batter into molds about three-quarters full and bake for 18 minutes until golden brown.
  7. Let cool slightly before transferring to a wire rack; dust with powdered sugar and garnish as desired.
