- 2 teaspoons Orange blossom water

Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease an 8-inch round or square baking pan with butter or line it with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine almond flour, shredded coconut, erythritol, baking powder, and salt. Stir well to ensure even distribution.
Step 3
In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, melted butter, vanilla extract, and orange blossom water until well combined.
Step 4
Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients mixture and mix until a smooth batter is formed. Ensure there are no lumps.
Step 5
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
Step 6
Optionally, sprinkle sliced almonds over the top of the batter for added texture and aesthetic.
Step 7
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the surface is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Step 8
Once baked, remove the pan from the oven and allow it to cool for about 15 minutes before slicing into squares or traditional diamond shapes.
Step 9
Serve warm or at room temperature, and enjoy as a delightful low-carb dessert or snack.
