Ingredients

  • 2 cups Almond flour
  • 1 cup Unsweetened shredded coconut
  • 0.5 cup Butter, melted
  • 0.5 cup Erythritol
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
  • 1 cup Chopped walnuts
  • 0.5 cup Chopped pecans
  • 1 cup Sugar-free honey substitute
  • 0.5 cup Water
  • 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
  • 0.25 teaspoon Ground cloves
  • 0.25 cup Chopped pistachios

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9x9 inch baking dish with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, unsweetened shredded coconut, melted butter, erythritol, vanilla extract, and ground cinnamon. Stir until the mixture is well blended.

Step 3

Press half of the almond flour mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly across the bottom.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, mix the chopped walnuts and pecans. Spread the nut mixture evenly over the almond flour mixture in the baking dish.

Step 5

Cover the nut layer with the remaining almond flour mixture, pressing gently to create an even layer.

Step 6

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the top is golden brown.

Step 7

While baking, prepare the syrup. In a small saucepan, combine the sugar-free honey substitute, water, lemon juice, and ground cloves. Bring to a boil over medium heat, then reduce to a simmer and cook for 5 minutes until slightly thickened.

Step 8

Remove the baked dessert from the oven and immediately pour the syrup evenly over the entire surface.

Step 9

Allow the baklava to cool in the baking dish before cutting it into squares or diamonds. Sprinkle the chopped pistachios over the top for garnish.

Step 10

Store in an airtight container for up to one week. Enjoy your low carb baklava as a delightful dessert!
