Útmutatók

Prep: Preheat your oven to 350F. Prep the 8x8 baking pan with parchment paper and grease with a bit of coconut oil. To bring chilled eggs to room temperature fill a container with hot tap water and submerge them for 10-15 minutes.

Cream together: In a medium bowl, add 2 1/4 cups almond flour, 1/3 cup coconut oil , 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract, 1/4 teaspoon almond extract and 1/2 cup maple syrup cream together until well combined. Add 2 room temperature eggs and mix again.

Bake: Once your creamy maple almond frangipane ingredients are all combined, transfer to the prepared 8x8 pan and smooth into an even layer. Top with the sliced almonds. Place the pan in the oven and bake at 350F for about 27 minutes. Because oven temperatures can vary, it's a good idea to check on the bars starting at the 22-minute mark to prevent overbaking. The bars are ready when the almonds on top are just starting to brown (a light brown color). The frangipane will no longer look raw and will turn a deeper golden color.

Cool & Enjoy: Once baked, allow the bars to cool and set for at least 20 minutes. Top with a drizzle of maple syrup or honey, slice, and enjoy!
