Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
2 1/2 cups almond flour
3/4 cup tapioca flour
1/3 cup coconut flour
2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
2 cups blueberries
Wet Ingredients3 eggs
3 lemons, juiced and zested (equals 1/2 cup juice and 3 tbsp zest)
2/3 cup maple syrup
1/2 tbsp apple cider vinegar
1/4 cup coconut oil
2 tsp vanilla extract
Method* Pre-heat oven to 350° F (175° C).
* Grease the bottom and sides of a 9-inch springform pan with coconut oil or ghee. You can also line the bottom of the springform pan with parchment paper for easy removal.
* Combine all dry ingredients (minus the blueberries) in a large bowl and stir.
* Combine all wet ingredients in a bowl.
* Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix with a hand-mixer on medium-high speed for about 30 seconds or until combined.
* Pour half the batter into the springform pan and add 1/2 cup of the blueberries. Pour the remaining batter and add the rest of the blueberries on top of the batter.
* Bake in the oven for 55-60 min. The batter will remain light colored on top, so use a toothpick to make sure the middle is cooked through.
