Since starting Paleo there is one item that is always in demand with my family: my Honey Almond Breakfast Cakes. They are fast to make, easy to keep (if you don’t eat them all in one day) and the flavor is subtle enough that you can have them as a sweet snack, a dessert or with a meal. You can make these as drop snack cakes (shown), press them into rolls or pat them into pancake size. My favorite way to eat these is with a little maple syrup and chopped pecans – Yum!
Variations:
- For a sweeter cake, use pure maple syrup instead of honey
- For a more hearty, meal cake – add dried fruit, seeds or nuts
- For a lighter color cake, use blanched almond flour
I haven’t attempted to make these large enough for a sandwich yet – but my husband has already put in a request. If anyone tries making sandwich size cakes – please let me know how it goes!
