photo 1

1 1/2 cup cranberries, rinsed

1 1/4 cup spelt flour (or regular white or whole wheat)

3/4 cup olive oil

3 eggs, separated

1/2 cup walnuts, quartered

3/4 cup coconut sugar

1 tsp baking soda

1 Tbsp lemon juice

Preheat oven to 350F. Combine egg yolks, sugar and olive oil first, followed by flour, cranberries and walnuts, in a medium size bowl. In another bowl, beat egg whites until white peaks are formed, slowly adding baking soda and lemon juice. Carefully, add the egg white mixture to the batter and mix just enough to combine well. Pour batter into a 9″ pie dish. Cook 30-40 minutes or until a toothpick is dry when inserted into the middle.
