Ingredients

  • 140 g almond flour (1 cup)
  • 4 eggs egg yolks and egg whites separated
  • 50 g greek yogurt (¼ cup)
  • 50 ml vegetable oil (¼ cup) e.g rapeseed or sunflower oil
  • 1 orange
  • 4 tablespoon honey
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ tablespoon baking powder
  • pinch of salt

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 170°C (340 °F) and line a 20x20 cm (8x8 inch) baking pan with baking paper.
  • Crack the eggs and separate the egg yolks from the egg whites. In a bowl whisk the egg whites until a foam forms. Test the foam by carefully turning over the bowl. If it stays in the bowl, it’s good to go. Set aside.
  • Whisk together the wet ingredients with a hand mixer until well combined. Mix almond flour with baking powder and salt. Add to the wet ingredients and whisk until a dough forms.
  • Now carefully fold the egg white foam into the dough until combined.
  • Transfer the dough into the baking pan and distribute evenly. Bake for 30-35 minutes until slightly browned.
  • Let cool, sprinkle with some icing sugar and slice into bars.
