Ingredients

• 1 cup Almond flour
• 0.25 cup Coconut flour
• 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground cardamom
• 0.5 cup Coconut sugar
• 1 cup Full-fat coconut milk
• 3 large Eggs
• 0.25 cup Ghee or coconut oil
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 2 tablespoons Unsweetened shredded coconut
• 2 tablespoons Chopped nuts (e.g. almonds or pistachios)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8-inch round baking pan with a little ghee or coconut oil and set aside.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, coconut flour, baking soda, ground cardamom, and coconut sugar. Whisk the dry ingredients together until well mixed.

Step 3

In another bowl, whisk the coconut milk, eggs, melted ghee or coconut oil, and vanilla extract until smooth.

Step 4

Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until well combined. Ensure there are no lumps and the batter is smooth.

Step 5

Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and smooth the top with a spatula.

Step 6

Sprinkle the shredded coconut and chopped nuts evenly over the top of the batter.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 8

Remove the Besan Pola from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 9

Slice and serve your Paleo Besan Pola warm or at room temperature.
