Recipe Notes

-For more acai flavor and nutrition, I like to throw in another acai pouch into the batter.  Just be sure to add a bit more almond flour or protein powder to balance out the thickness of the batter to your liking.

-Blueberry compote is totally optional, but encouraged!

-Try using frozen blueberries for topping too!
