Ingredients
- 2 cups almond flour
- 1/4 cup coconut flour
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1/4 cup coconut oil, melted
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup dried cherries
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

- In a separate bowl, mix melted coconut oil, honey, eggs, and lemon juice until smooth and fully incorporated.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix thoroughly using a spatula until a cohesive dough forms.
- Gently fold in the dried cherries, distributing them evenly throughout the dough.
- Transfer the dough onto the prepared baking sheet and shape into a circular disk approximately 1-inch thick.
- Using a sharp knife, cut the disk into 8 equal wedges, slightly separating them to allow even baking.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
