Recipe Notes:

• If you’d like a little more fiber and some omega-3 fatty acids, replace ½ cup of your almond flour with

½ cup of ground flaxseeds.

• You can make your own almond flour by processing 1 cup slivered almonds in a food processor

(or blender with a strong motor). Make sure that you pulse in 20-second intervals to prevent the almonds

from turning into almond butter. 1 cup of slivered almonds yields approximately 1 cup of almond flour.

• If you can’t find almond flour in your store, you can look at club stores or online.
