Ingredients
- 2 cups almond flour
- 1 cup butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 cup walnuts
- 1 cup pecans
- 1 cup erythritol
- 0.5 cup sugar-free maple syrup
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 0.25 teaspoon sea salt
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8x8 inch baking dish with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a medium-sized bowl, melt 1 cup of butter and allow it to cool slightly. Stir in 2 cups of almond flour until a dough forms.
Step 3
Press the almond flour mixture evenly into the base of the prepared baking dish to form a crust. Bake the crust for 10 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from the oven and set aside to cool.
Step 4
While the crust is baking, finely chop 1 cup of walnuts and 1 cup of pecans. In a separate bowl, combine the chopped nuts, 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon, and 1 cup of erythritol. Mix thoroughly.
Step 5
Once the crust has cooled, spread the nut mixture evenly over the crust.
Step 6
In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine 0.5 cup sugar-free maple syrup, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, and a pinch of sea salt. Stir the mixture and bring it to a simmer. Let it simmer for about 3 minutes, then remove from heat.
Step 7
Evenly pour the syrup mixture over the nut layer in the baking dish, ensuring the nuts are well coated.
Step 8
Return the dish to the oven and bake for an additional 25 minutes, or until the topping is bubbly and the nuts are golden brown.
Step 9
Remove from the oven and allow the baklava to cool completely in the dish before cutting it into 12 squares. Serve and enjoy!
