Ingredients

• 1 cup raw pistachio nuts, shelled
• 1 cup almond flour
• 1/4 cup coconut flour
• 2 tablespoons arrowroot powder
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
• 1/4 cup coconut oil, melted
• 1/4 cup honey
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 egg
• 1 egg white
• 1/3 cup pistachios, roughly chopped for topping

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a food processor, blend 1 cup of shelled raw pistachios until they form a fine meal. Be careful not to over-process as you don’t want it turning into pistachio butter.

Step 3

In a medium mixing bowl, combine the pistachio meal, almond flour, coconut flour, arrowroot powder, baking soda, and sea salt. Stir well to combine the dry ingredients.

Step 4

In another bowl, whisk together the melted coconut oil, honey, vanilla extract, whole egg, and egg white until smooth.

Step 5

Gradually mix the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, combining until you form a dough.

Step 6

Transfer the dough onto a well-floured surface (use additional coconut flour) and roll it out gently to about 1/4-inch thickness. Use a pastry cutter or knife to cut out desired shapes, like circles or squares, and place them on the prepared baking sheet.

Step 7

Lightly whisk the extra egg white and brush it over the tops of each pastry shape.

Step 8

Sprinkle the roughly chopped pistachios on top, gently pressing them into the pastry to adhere.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for about 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown.

Step 10

Remove from the oven and allow to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 11

Enjoy these delightful Paleo-friendly pastries as a snack or dessert!
