Ingredients
- 2 cups almond flour
- 1 cup coconut flour
- 1/2 cup maple syrup
- 4 eggs
- 1/4 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tbsp baking powder
- Pinch of salt
- Food coloring (optional)
How to Make
Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C) and greasing a mini cake pan. In a large mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, and salt. In another bowl, whisk together the eggs, maple syrup, almond milk, and vanilla extract. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry mixture, stirring to combine. If you’d like to add color, divide the batter into portions and mix in your preferred food coloring. Pour the batter into your mini cake pan, filling each section halfway, and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean. Allow to cool before decorating with your favorite spring-themed designs.
Tips
- For added texture, mix in nuts or shredded coconut.
- Experiment with different food colorings to create vibrant designs.

Storing
