Ingredients
  

For the Shortcakes:

  • 2 cups almond flour
  • 3 tbsp coconut sugar
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ½ cup unsalted butter chilled and cubed
  • 2 large eggs
  • ½ cup almond milk
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • For the Latte Whipped Cream:
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 2 tbsp powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp espresso powder
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

For the Strawberry Layer:

  • 2 cups fresh strawberries sliced
  • 1 tbsp honey optional

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Prepare the Dough: In a mixing bowl, whisk almond flour, coconut sugar, baking powder, and salt until combined.
  • Incorporate Butter: Cut in the butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  • Mix Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk eggs, almond milk, and vanilla. Slowly add this to the dry mixture and stir until dough forms.
  • Shape and Bake: Drop spoonfuls of dough onto the baking sheet, forming eight mounds. Bake for 22-25 minutes until golden brown.
  • Prep Strawberries: Toss the sliced strawberries with honey if desired and let them sit to release their natural juices.
  • Make Latte Whipped Cream: Whip heavy cream, powdered sugar, espresso powder, and vanilla until soft peaks form.
  • Assemble: Slice each shortcake in half. Layer with strawberries and top with a cloud of latte whipped cream.
