- 3/4 C Almond flour

- 1/4 C Plain nonfat Greek yogurt
- 1/2 C Unsweetened almond milk
- 2 Eggs
- 1 TSP Baking powder
- 1 TSP Vanilla extract
- 1 TSP Cinnamon
- Sugar-free Chocolate for drizzling (optional – I used @choczero)
- Combine all dry ingredients and set aside.
- Mix together wet ingredients until combined, then add dry ingredients and mix until combined.
- Bake in a parchment lined 9×9 cake pan at 350 for 20-25 minutes.
- Combine 1/2 C granulated sweetener and 2 TSP cinnamon in a bowl. Once cake is cooled, cut into bite size squares. Roll squares in the boll of cinnamon sugar mixture, a few at a time, until coated.
- OPTIONAL: I drizzled mine with @choczero Chocolate hazelnut spread but they would be delicious with a caramel or chocolate sauce too.
