1 3/4 cups organic un-bleached all purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

3 Setton Farms Pistachio Chewy Bites
1/2 cup organic powdered sugar
2 teaspoons un-sweetened almond milk
Directions: Preheat oven to 350°.
In a measuring cup, add almond and apple cider vinegar and set aside to curdle, about 1-2 minutes.
To a large mixing bowl, add flour, cinnamon, allspice, baking powder, sea salt and sugar and whisk until uniform. Add molasses, ginger, vanilla extract, rum, oil and curdled almond milk mixture. Whisk until smooth and uniform.
Grease mini bundt pan with cooking spray and sprinkle ground pistachios into each section. Tap to shake and evenly disperse pistachios in each section coating lining of each mini bundt cake.

I love this recipe with its combination of spices, healthful ingredients and pistachios. I would make this any time of the year , but especially between Thanksgiving and New Year's Day. I do not yet own mini bunds pan, so I shall look for them first.
