Ingredients

• Almond flour - 100 grams
• Psyllium husk - 10 grams
• Butter - 50 grams, melted
• Egg - 1 large
• Hazelnuts - 100 grams, finely chopped
• Erythritol - 40 grams
• Cinnamon - 1 teaspoon
• Vanilla extract - 1 teaspoon
• Water - 50 milliliters
• Stevia - to taste

Steps

1. Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
2. In a mixing bowl, combine almond flour, psyllium husk, melted butter, and egg. Mix until a dough forms.
3. Divide the dough into two equal parts. Roll out one part between two sheets of parchment paper until thin and rectangular.
4. In another bowl, mix chopped hazelnuts, erythritol, cinnamon, and vanilla extract to prepare the filling.
5. Spread half of the hazelnut mixture evenly over the rolled-out dough.
6. Roll the dough tightly into a log, then cut it into small pieces (about 4 cm each).
7. Place the pieces into a greased baking dish.
8. Roll out the second part of the dough and repeat the filling process, placing it on top of the first layer.
9. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown.
10. While baking, prepare the syrup by simmering water and stevia in a small saucepan until slightly thickened.
11. Once baklava is done, pour the syrup over the hot baklava and let it cool before serving.
