Buttery Almond and Rose Baklava
This buttery, nutty, and floral baklava is a delightful treat that is perfect for any occasion. The combination of almond flour, coconut flour, honey, maple syrup, and coconut oil creates a rich and flavorful base, while the chopped almonds add a satisfying crunch. The rose water adds a delicate floral note that complements the other flavors perfectly.
Baklava is a classic dessert that has been enjoyed for centuries. It is believed to have originated in the Middle East, and it has since become a popular treat all over the world. There are many different variations of baklava, but they all share some common ingredients, such as nuts, honey, and filo dough. This particular recipe for buttery almond and rose baklava is inspired by the traditional Turkish recipe. However, I have made a few modifications to make it easier to make at home. For example, I have used almond flour and coconut flour instead of filo dough. I have also used honey and maple syrup instead of just honey. These changes make the baklava easier to make and just as delicious.
