almond flour

🥗Healthier: oat flour

💰Cheaper: all-purpose flour

Oat flour is gluten-free and lower in calories.

pine nuts

🥗Healthier: sunflower seeds

💰Cheaper: pumpkin seeds

Sunflower seeds are less expensive and provide a similar crunch.

Beat the almond paste and sugar in a bowl until combined.

Beat two egg whites into the almond mixture.

Gradually add the confectioners’ sugar to the almond mixture and mix thoroughly to make dough.

Whisk the remaining two egg whites in a separate bowl until the egg whites are foamy.

Dip your fingers into the flour to keep the dough from sticking to your fingers. Shape the dough into 1-in. balls, dip the balls into the egg whites, and coat each ball in the pine nuts.

Place the balls on two parchment paper-lined Air Flow Racks and flatten each ball slightly.

Place the Racks on the bottom and middle shelves of the PowerXL Air Fryer Oven.

Press the Power Button, decrease the cooking temperature to 325° F, and increase the cooking time to 18 mins. Rotate the Racks halfway through the cooking time (9 mins).
