  1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a 8" x 8" baking dish with parchment paper and set aside.

In a small separate bowl whisk together the almond and coconut flours with the salt. Add to liquid and mix forming a dough. Press onto the bottom of the prepared pan and bake for 20 minutes or until lightly brown. Cool on a baking rack.

  5. Garnish with powdered sugar and fruit of your choice.

Notes

  • For the crust, butter can be used in place of the coconut oil.
