Almond flour is a great addition to this healthy apple crumb cake recipe because it's packed with nutritious benefits. Unlike regular flour, which is made from wheat, almond flour is made from finely ground blanched almonds, which makes it a gluten-free and grain-free alternative.
Almond flour is high in protein, healthy fats, and fiber, which can help keep you feeling full and satisfied for longer. It's also rich in vitamin E, magnesium, and potassium, which are important nutrients for overall health and wellbeing.
By using almond flour in this recipe, we're not only adding a delicious nutty flavor and texture, but we're also increasing the nutritional value of the cake. This makes it a healthier option compared to traditional crumb cakes made with all-purpose flour.
So, if you're looking to add more nutrition to your baked goods, almond flour is definitely worth incorporating into your recipes. And what better way to start than with this healthy apple crumb cake recipe!
This Healthy Apple Crumb Cake is also naturally sweetened with coconut sugar, which is a great alternative to refined white sugar. Coconut sugar is made from the sap of coconut palms and has a lower glycemic index than white sugar, meaning it won't cause spikes in blood sugar levels.
Not only is coconut sugar a better option for those with diabetes or blood sugar imbalances, but it also contains small amounts of vitamins and minerals like iron, zinc, and potassium.
Using coconut sugar in this Healthy Apple Crumb Cake gives the cake a subtle caramel-like flavor and sweetness without being overpowering. It's a great way to add a touch of sweetness to your baked goods while also keeping them healthy and nutritious.
So, with almond flour and coconut sugar, this healthy apple crumb cake is a delicious, nutritious, and a guilt-free dessert that you can enjoy any time of day!
Enjoy!
