Ingredients

• All-purpose flour - 150 grams
• Almond flour - 50 grams
• Baking powder - 1 teaspoon
• Salt - 1/4 teaspoon
• Coconut oil - 60 grams (melted)
• Maple syrup - 70 grams
• Almond milk - 100 ml
• Vanilla extract - 1 teaspoon
• Ground flaxseed - 1 tablespoon
• Water - 2.5 tablespoons
• Almond butter - 50 grams
• Powdered sugar - 20 grams

Steps

1. Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and grease a small round cake pan.
2. In a bowl, mix the all-purpose flour, almond flour, baking powder, and salt together until well combined.
3. In another bowl, whisk together the melted coconut oil, maple syrup, almond milk, vanilla extract, ground flaxseed mixed with water, and set aside for 5 minutes to thicken.
4. Combine the wet ingredients with the dry ingredients and mix until a dough forms. Divide the dough into two equal parts.
5. Press one half of the dough into the bottom of the prepared cake pan, ensuring it covers the base evenly.
6. In a separate bowl, mix the almond butter and powdered sugar until smooth to create the filling.
7. Spread the almond butter mixture evenly over the dough in the pan.
8. Roll out the second half of the dough to cover the filling and seal the edges by pressing down gently.
9. Make a few slits on the top crust to allow steam to escape.
10. Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes or until golden brown.
11. Allow to cool for at least 15 minutes before slicing and serving.
