Good Food For Life

I have had this recipe in my notes for so long, I honestly don’t know where I found it.  I did change the preparation instructions, though, to simplify the process, but props to the original writer, whoever you may be. 

Enjoy!

2 ½ cups blanched almond flour

¼ teaspoon kosher or sea salt

¼ teaspoon aluminum free baking soda

1 cup chopped raw pecans

½ cup organic butter

1/8 teaspoon Now brand or Kal brand stevia

1 tablespoon pure vanilla (no sugar – check the label)

1.       In a stand mixer, or using an electric hand held beater, combine the butter and stevia.  Add the vanilla and mix again until all three ingredients are incorporated.

2.       In a separate bowl, combine all the dry ingredients, including the pecans.

3.      Combine the butter mixture with the dry ingredients.

4.      Using a piece of parchment paper, form the dough into a log, approximately 2 ½ inches in diameter. 

5.      Freeze the log for approximately 1 hour; then unwrap and cut into 1/8 inch slices.

6.      Place the slices on a baking sheet lined with a clean piece of parchment paper.

7.      Bake at 350 degrees until lightly golden, approximately 10 to 15 minutes.

8.      Cool and serve.
