Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and grease a 9-inch baking pan with a small amount of coconut oil.

Step 2

In a medium saucepan, heat the almond milk over medium heat until warm but not boiling.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, whisk together the arrowroot powder and a small portion of the warm almond milk to create a slurry.

Step 6

Remove the saucepan from the heat and allow the mixture to cool slightly.

In a mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, coconut flour, cinnamon, and salt.

Step 8

In another bowl, beat the eggs until frothy and gradually add them to the flour mixture, stirring until just combined.

Step 9

Mix the cooled custard into the flour and egg mixture, stirring until you achieve a smooth batter.

Step 10

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

Step 11

Bake in the preheated oven for 30-40 minutes or until the top is set and lightly golden.

Step 12

Allow the Galaktoboureko to cool in the pan for at least 15 minutes before cutting into pieces.
