Preheat oven to 350° F.
Place pan in oven and bake for 40 to 50 minutes, until knife inserted into center comes out clean.

Sprinkle with powdered sugar or non-calorie sweetener, if desired.

Plain or flavored nondairy creamer may be used instead or rice milk. Susan says her patients and teammates prefer coconut cream flavor.
Vanilla or coconut extract may be used in place of almond extract.
