I am one of
those people who can pour maple syrup on anything! Vegetables, fruit, meat,
cereal - there are no limits. Tonight I found yet another way to incorporate my
beloved maple syrup into a super easy yet healthy dessert. I've been looking up
gluten free cake recipies for a long time now and I'm sick of reading an
exhausting list of ingredients, especially those I can't even pronounce (i.e.
xanthan gum - like what is that?!) Here is a natural, delicious dessert you can feel good about eating.
Maple Almond Bars
1 1/4 cups of almond flour (or just finely ground almonds)
3 egg whites
1/3 cup maple syrup
Pure almond extract (optional)
Dash of salt
1 1/4 cups of almond flour (or just finely ground almonds)
3 egg whites
1/3 cup maple syrup
Pure almond extract (optional)
Dash of salt
Preheat oven to 350F. Lightly grease a baking dish (I used corningwear)
with olive or coconut oil.
Mix maple syrup, almond extract and almond flour in one bowl until it becomes a thick paste.
Beat egg whites and salt for about a minute then stir it into the maple almond paste until smooth. Bake for 30 minutes or until bars are golden brown. Let cool for about 10 minutes. If you have chopped or slivered almonds, sprinkle a bit on top before baking. Warning: these are highly addictive, so if you’re like me, you will need to try very very hard not to eat the entire thing.
