What’s good about it?
Almond flour is popular paleo and keto alternative to regular flour. Almond flour is incredibly nutritious. It’s particularly rich in vitamin E and magnesium and provides fibre and protein.
- Preheat the oven to 180C, gas mark 4. Lightly grease a baking tray.
- Place the almond flour, psyllium husks, baking powder, salt in a food processor or large bowl and mix to combine.
- With the food processor running add the egg whites and apple cider vinegar.
- Pour in the boiling water and poppy seeds and process to form a soft dough. You can do this in a bowl as well but you will need to knead the mixture for a couple of minutes so it comes together to form a springy dough.
- Divide the dough into four pieces. Roll each piece into a small ball.
- Place on the baking tray and brush the tops with the leftover egg yolks.
- Scatter with poppy seeds.
- Bake in the oven for 45 minutes until cooked through and golden brown.
