Ingredients Needed
- 2 cups of grated apples (preferably organic)
- 1 ½ cups of almond flour
- 1 teaspoon of baking powder
- 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon of nutmeg
- 3 large eggs
- ¼ cup of honey or maple syrup (as a natural sweetener)
- ¼ cup of coconut oil, melted
- 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
- Optional: chopped nuts or raisins
Instructions for Preparation
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a loaf pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal. In a large bowl, combine the grated apples, eggs, honey or maple syrup, coconut oil, and vanilla. Mix well until smooth. In a separate bowl, whisk together the almond flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined. If desired, fold in chopped nuts or raisins for extra texture.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it evenly. Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow the loaf to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack. Let it cool completely before slicing.
