Ingredients

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line an 8-inch square baking pan with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the almond flour, ground walnuts, oat flour, coconut sugar, baking powder, and salt.
In another bowl, whisk together the olive oil, eggs, orange juice, orange zest, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry and stir until just combined—do not overmix.
Scrape the batter into the prepared pan, smoothing the top. Sprinkle a few extra walnut pieces on top for added texture if desired.
Bake for 25-28 minutes, or until the top is golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then lift out and cool completely on a rack. Slice and serve.
