Ingredients

Servings:
8
  • 1 cup pitted cherries (fresh or frozen)
  • 1 cup milk (whole or 2%)

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup almond flour
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup slivered almonds (for garnish)
  • 1 tablespoon butter (for greasing)

Instructions

8 steps

  1. Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

    Mix until no lumps remain.
  4. Add Flour

    Gradually fold in the almond flour until well combined.

    You can slightly press them into the batter.
  6. Finish with Batter

    Pour the remaining batter over the cherries.
