Tap a time to watch that step in the video.

  1. In a bowl whisk the almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder and salt, and set aside. 0:18
  2. Cream the softened butter with the powdered allulose until pale and creamy (warm the butter for 10 seconds if it is too firm). 0:56
  3. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then the vanilla and molasses. 1:50
  4. Add the dry ingredients and beat with a hand mixer into a thick batter. 2:36
  5. For the crumb, mix the almond flour, sweetener and cinnamon, then work in the butter in small pieces with a spatula or your fingers until it looks like wet sand with some bigger lumps. 3:06
  6. Heat the oven to 175°C (350°F). Spray and line a 20 cm (8-inch) square pan. Spread in half the batter, scatter over half the crumb, then add the rest of the batter and finish with the rest of the crumb. 4:50
  7. Bake 35–40 minutes, covering with foil halfway so the almond crumb doesn't burn, until a toothpick comes out mostly clean. 6:08
  8. Let it cool in the pan (the cook waits about 20 minutes) before lifting it out and cutting into 12 squares. 6:33

Tip. The cook bakes it in a larger rectangular dish; a loaf pan works too. Coconut oil can replace the butter in the batter. Cut 9 bigger squares if you like.

Vitamin E High53%

8 mg a serve, mostly from almond flour (53%). An antioxidant that protects cell membranes. Nuts, seeds and plant oils such as olive oil are the main sources.

Magnesium High20%

84 mg a serve, mostly from almond flour (53%). Takes part in hundreds of reactions — energy, muscles, nerves, blood sugar and bones. Nuts, seeds, legumes and whole grains are good sources.

Vitamin A Source15%

131 µg a serve, mostly from butter (49%). Keeps eyes, skin and the immune system healthy. Orange vegetables and dark greens give beta-carotene, which the body turns into vitamin A.

Zinc Source10%

1.1 mg a serve, mostly from almond flour (46%). Needed for immunity, wound healing, taste and growth. Meat, seafood, legumes, seeds and whole grains supply it.

Selenium Source10%

5.8 µg a serve, mostly from eggs (67%). Part of the body's antioxidant enzymes and needed for thyroid hormones. Seafood, eggs, meat and Brazil nuts are rich sources.

Iron8%

1.4 mg a serve, mostly from almond flour (45%). Carries oxygen in your blood. Iron from plants absorbs better with vitamin C in the same meal — lemon, tomato or capsicum.

Calcium7%

96 mg a serve, mostly from almond flour (47%). Builds bones and teeth and helps muscles and nerves work. Dairy, calcium-set tofu, sardines with their bones and some greens supply it.

Vitamin B127%

0.2 µg a serve, mostly from eggs (81%). Keeps nerves and blood cells healthy. Found almost only in animal foods and fortified foods (some plant milks, nutritional yeast), so vegans need a reliable source.

Potassium6%

270 mg a serve, mostly from almond flour (45%). Balances sodium to help control blood pressure and keeps muscles and nerves working. Beans, potatoes, leafy greens and fruit are rich sources.

Folate5%

20 µg a serve, mostly from almond flour (37%). Needed to make DNA and new cells — especially important before and in early pregnancy. Legumes and leafy greens are rich sources.

Vitamin B64%

0.1 mg a serve, mostly from almond flour (34%). Helps turn food into energy and make brain messengers. Chickpeas, fish, poultry, potatoes and bananas are good sources.

Omega-34%

0.1 g a serve, mostly from butter (43%). Omega-3 fats support the heart and brain. Oily fish give EPA and DHA; walnuts, flax, chia and canola give ALA, which the body converts only a little.

Vitamin D3%

0.5 µg a serve, mostly from eggs (53%). Helps you absorb calcium for bones and supports muscles. Few foods have much — oily fish, eggs, UV-exposed mushrooms, fortified milks. Sunlight is the main source.

Vitamin K1%

1.4 µg a serve, mostly from butter (46%). Needed for blood clotting and bones. Leafy greens and herbs are very rich in it. If you take warfarin, keep your intake steady and talk to your doctor.

Vitamin C0%

0 mg a serve, mostly from ground cinnamon (100%). An antioxidant needed for collagen, immunity and iron absorption. Long cooking destroys some, so raw herbs, citrus and capsicum help.
