Preparation

Step 1

Makes: 1 20x20 cm slice

2 cup fruit nut mix or 2 cups homemade fruit nut mix*

Preheat oven to 180

Add all of the dry ingredients to a large mixing bowl and
stir with a spoon to combine ensuring that the baking powder has been evenly
distributed.

Make a well in the centre and add the wet ingredients all at
once then stire then through until you get a thick mixture.

Pour or spoon the mixture into the baking dish and bake for
35-45 minutes or until a skewer comes out dry.

Refrigerating will help to make it firm enough to cut
properly. I use a serrated knife in a sawing motion. If you don’t mind it
crumbling a bit then just go ahead and enjoy it while it’s warm, it will be a
bit crunchy on the outside and a bit gooey on the inside.

* I used 1 cup mixed nuts and seeds, 1/3 walnuts, 1/3
almonds, 1/3 pepitas and gave them a quick pulse in my blender for chop them
into evenly sized chunks. Same goes for the fruit, I used 1/3 pitted dates, 1/3
sultanas, 1/3 dried organic apricots pulsed like the nuts to chop them evenly.

** Flax egg – combine 2tbs ground flax with 4 tbs water (6
tbs if just using a dessert spoon and not a proper tbs measurer)

Let me know, is vegan important to you or do you just like the idea that everything you eat it pure and natural made with whole ingredients with no preservative or additives? And most of all do you love to bake all of your own goodies to ensure you know exactly what's in your food. I'd love to hear from you.
