Almond Tarties

I LOVE Almond anything.  Almond tarts are one of my favorite treats, however they really aren't the best for you with all the white flour and sugar.  I wanted to make a healthy version of an almond tart using whole wheat flour and honey instead of white flour and sugar.  I also wanted to make it Dairy free, so I used coconut oil too!

I came up with these little mini Almond tarties (a mix between a tart and a cookie)!

Ingredients


            1/2 cup Honey



            1/3 cup Coconut Oil



            1 egg



            1 teaspoon almond extract



            1/2 teaspoon vanilla



            1 cup whole wheat flour



            1/2 teaspoon baking powder



            1/8 teaspoon baking soda



            1/2 cup chopped almonds



            1 ecipe Almond Glaze (optional)



Almond Glaze

            1/2  cup powdered sugar



            1/2  teaspoon almond extract



            2   teaspoons Almond milk


Directions

1.     
Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Line 16 muffin cups with silicon baking cups; set aside.

2.     In a small saucepan, melt and stir Coconut Oil and Honey over medium heat until smooth. Remove from heat; cool slightly. Stir in egg, almond extract, and vanilla.



Honey and Coconut Oil

Melted down honey and coconut oil

3.     
In a small bowl, stir together flour, baking powder, and baking soda.

4.     Add flour mixture to oil and honey mixture; stir just until combined. Stir in 1/3 cup of the chopped almonds.



Batter all mixed up

5.     
Spoon batter into silicon cups, filling each half full.

I used a cookie scoop for each Tartie

6.     
Bake in the preheated oven for 14 minutes or until tops are lightly browned.

7.     Cool in muffin cups for 5 minutes. Remove from muffin pans; cool. Drizzle cooled cookies with Almond Glaze if you choose. 
     

Make a tea and enjoy a Tartie or two!
