# Preparation Steps:
01 -
Heat your oven to 350°F. Coat an 8-inch round or springform pan with nonstick spray so things don’t stick.
02 -
Lay almonds flat on a small baking tray. Bake for 5 minutes until you see a golden color. Keep an eye on them to avoid burning. Cool them after removing.
03 -
Use a medium mixing bowl to blend the almond flour, baking powder, and salt. Mix until it’s all combined.
04 -
Take a bigger bowl and whisk together the eggs, maple syrup, oil, and the extracts (almond and vanilla). Keep going until it’s smooth.
05 -
Slowly mix the dry ingredients into the wet bowl. Stir it well, getting rid of lumps.
06 -
Transfer your batter to the greased pan. Sprinkle the toasted almonds evenly across the top.
07 -
Let it bake for 20–25 minutes. You’ll know it’s done when the top is golden and a toothpick poked inside comes out clean.
08 -
Cool the baked treat while still in the pan. Add an optional dusting of powdered sugar and some extra almonds before serving.
