Almonds are among the most popular nuts and they were even a popular addition to the diets of both the ancient Egyptians and ancient Indians.

EVEN AMONG AYURVEDIC PRACTITIONERS, ALMONDS ARE PRIZED FOR THEIR ABILITY TO INCREASE BRAIN CAPACITY, INTELLECT AND LONGEVITY. NOWADAYS WE SEE ALMONDS ARE SO MAINSTREAM THAT THEY ARE USED IN A VARIETY OF WAYS FROM A HEALTHY RAW SNACK, TO ALMOND BUTTERS, MILKS, FLOURS AND MORE.

Almonds are packed with a whole host of nutrients including monounsaturated fatty acids, fiber, antioxidants, plus vitamins like riboflavin, and trace minerals like magnesium. Of course, their ability to reduce both cholesterol and the waistline is the reason almonds are so beloved.

WHILE THERE ARE A VARIETY OF WAYS TO CONSUME ALMONDS, I LOVE TO USE ALMOND FLOUR IN MY EASY, PEASY, GO-TO BUNDT CAKE – EASILY ADAPTED AND ALWAYS DELICIOUS!

An Oh-So-Simple Bundt Cake

• 5 eggs

• 1 Tablespoon baking powder

• pinch of pink himalayan salt

  VARIATIONS:

  This recipe is practically fool proof so test any variations you’d like 😉

  • Stir in your favorite spices – cinnamon, nutmeg, cardamom, etc
