Step‑By‑Step Instructions

  3. Whisk together the ground nut mixture, rice flour, baking powder, and salt in a mixing bowl.
  4. In another bowl, whisk together the eggs, lime zest, lime juice, honey, and macadamia oil until smooth.
  5. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently mix until just combined. Divide the batter evenly into the pans.
