Cooking Tips
For a dairy-free version, substitute almond flour with coconut flour. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Pair these cakes with a side of greens for a fuller meal or serve with a dollop of Greek yogurt. These cakes can also be baked at 375°F (190°C) for 15 minutes if preferred.
