Ingredients

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a small baking dish (about 8x8-inch or similar) with oil spray.
In a large bowl, whisk together almond flour, protein powder, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon.
In a separate bowl, beat eggs. Add Greek yogurt, honey or maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Whisk until smooth.
Add wet ingredients to dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Gently fold in 3/4 cup of the berries, reserving the rest for topping.
Pour the batter into the prepared dish. Scatter remaining berries and sliced almonds over the top.
Bake for 22-28 minutes, until set in the center and golden at the edges. A toothpick inserted should come out mostly clean.
Cool for 10 minutes before slicing into 3 portions. Serve warm or at room temperature.
