Preparation
Step 1
Today is a busy day for me in the kitchen.. My main man goes off to his new job tomorrow.. 2 weeks on/2 weeks off! As a FIFO wife I'm used to him being away but not for soooo long. He used to do week on/week off. O Well, we'll get used to it. The upside is 2 weeks home and we don't have to do the 5 days a week, 9-5 like most. It's a pretty good lifestyle if you work at it and do it right. Lots of quality time together when he is here and me not have a 9-5 makes it work really well. It does have it's downside but we don't focus on that as it's counterproductive. Everything in life has a downside so why let it get you down, work with what you have and make life fun I say.
Makes: 20 x 20 cm
slice
½ cup
almonds – diced or lightly blended into chunks
Preheat oven to 170
Add all of the dried fruit and the nuts and seeds to a large
mixing bowl and stir. I chopped the larger fruits and nuts by quickly pulsing
them in my blender one ingredient at a time making sure not to grind them too
fine. You want them chunky. Then add the vanilla, cinnamon, zest, protein powder
and stir through to coat all of the sticky ingredients ensuring that they are
all separated and not clumped together.
Add the eggs, chia/flax gel or banana depending on which you choose, oil, milk and sweetener to a blender and blend
until smooth then add to the bowl and stir through. Tip into a greased 20 x 20
cm baking dish and flatten the top.
Add all the crumble ingredients to the same blender and
gently blend until the oil and and honey have mixed through keeping the speed
low so that it doesn't grind the mix too much. Alternative you can do it in the
bowl and rub it together with your fingers or a spoon. Gently sprinkle the mix
over the slice and fluff it up so that it is able to get crunchy.
