• ½ teaspoon baking powder
• ¼ teaspoon salt
• ½ cup room temperature butter
• 2 eggs

Filling:

• 2 cups chopped walnuts
• ¼ cup erythritol (or other keto sweetener)
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon
• ¼ teaspoon nutmeg
• ¼ cup melted butter
• ½ cup water

Syrup:

• ½ cup erythritol (or other keto sweetener)
• 2 teaspoons lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions:

1. Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F) before starting.
2. In a large bowl, mix almond flour, erythritol, baking powder, and salt.
3. Add butter and eggs to the bowl of dry ingredients. Mix everything together until a uniform dough forms.
4. Transfer the dough to a countertop and knead it for a few minutes until it becomes elastic.
5. Divide the dough into two equal parts.
6. Prepare the filling by mixing chopped walnuts, erythritol, cinnamon, and nutmeg in a bowl.
7. On a buttered or parchment-lined baking sheet, roll out one portion of the dough into a rectangular layer about 3 mm thick.
8. Brush the layer of dough with melted butter.
9. Evenly spread half of the filling onto the dough.
10. Repeat steps 7-9 with the second portion of dough and the remaining filling.
11. Cover the filling with the second layer of dough.
12. Gently press the layers together to stick.
13. Trim the edges of the dough to create an even surface.
14. Cut the dough into square or diamond-shaped pieces.
15. Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for about 25-30 minutes until the dough turns golden.
16. Meanwhile, prepare the syrup. In a small saucepan, bring water and erythritol to a boil, stirring until the erythritol dissolves. Then add lemon juice and vanilla extract. Cook for a few minutes until the syrup slightly thickens.
17. Once the baklava is ready, remove it from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes.
18. Carefully pour the prepared syrup over the baklava, ensuring it spreads evenly.
19. Allow the baklava to cool and soak in the syrup for at least 2 hours before serving.

About me
And short story about LEET DIET

As a choreographer and aerial gymnast, I had always been interested in maintaining a healthy lifestyle. Diets had been my hobby, but I never truly enjoyed them until I discovered the Keto diet. After reading numerous books about how our bodies work and the benefits of a high-fat, low-carb diet, I decided to give it a try. I never looked back. The Keto lifestyle quickly became my passion, and I began experimenting with new recipes and meal plans. That's when I decided to share my knowledge with the world and created Leet Diet, a website filled with delicious Keto-friendly recipes and helpful tips for anyone looking to adopt a healthy lifestyle.
