Paleo Apple Cake

This grain-free beauty is a simple staple in my kitchen - nourishing, wholesome, and easy to whip up. Made with pantry staples, a splash of macadamia nut oil for healthy fats, and sweet seasonal fruit (apples are my staple, along with some wild dried blueberries, but I like switching it up depending on what’s in season), its the kind of cake that feels good to eat. Lightly sweetened with raw local honey, it’s nutrient-dense, delicious and endlessly adaptable.

Ingredients:

2 cups Almond meal

1 tsp Baking powder

1/4 cup macadamia oil (or oil of choice)

2 large apples (diced) or fruit of choice, I also added a sprinkle of wild blueberries to this batch)
