Ingredients

Scale

For the Crust:

  • For the Shortcake:
  • 1 1/2 cups almond flour
  • 1/2 cup whole wheat flour
  • 1/4 cup coconut sugar
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/3 cup coconut oil, melted
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • For the Strawberry Filling:
  • 2 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
  • 2 tbsp maple syrup
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • For the Whipped Cream:
  • 1 cup coconut cream
  • 1 tbsp powdered sugar
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

1. Prepare the Crust:

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the almond flour, whole wheat flour, coconut sugar, baking powder, and salt.
  3. Add the melted coconut oil, almond milk, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients and stir until just combined.
  4. Scoop tablespoon-sized amounts of dough onto the prepared baking sheet. Flatten slightly with the back of a spoon and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown. Allow to cool on a wire rack.
  5. In a medium bowl, combine the sliced strawberries, maple syrup, and lemon juice. Stir to coat the strawberries evenly and let sit for about 10 minutes to macerate.
  6. For the whipped cream, scoop the thickened coconut cream into a chilled bowl, add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, and whip with an electric mixer until soft peaks form.
  7. To assemble the jars, layer pieces of shortcake, a spoonful of macerated strawberries, and a dollop of whipped coconut cream. Repeat layers until the jars are full.
  8. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving.

Notes

Feel free to substitute the coconut sugar with another sweetener of your choice. For a vegan option, ensure that all ingredients used are vegan-certified.
