It’s official.
One more day and Katie (my 1st born) will be in kindergarten (crazy! I know… remember when she was just born?)
This means back to schedules, back to early bed times, and (gulp!) back to packing school lunches.
So I’ve been on a mission to come up with some yummy recipes ideas for her lunch box that are not full of refined sugars and flours yet are still insanely delicious!
So when I found this recipe, I decided to give it a try. I really didn’t change much of anything, other than cutting back on the vanilla extract (that stuff is expensive!) and adding a little sprinkle of turbinado sugar over the top (adds an unbeatable crunch) and let me tell you, this cake was delish!
Warm fall flavors, nice light texture, sprinkled with little bits of apple in every bite.
This recipe will definitely be in our rotation this fall (I’m actually thinking it would also make a great base for a gluten-free carrot cake – but that will be for another day).
Anyone else getting ready to pack school lunches? If so, what are some of your clean & delicious favorites?

Ingredients:
- 2 cups almond flour
- ½ tsp. kosher salt
- ½ tsp. baking soda
