Banana & Sultana Seedy Slice
This is our version of a muesli bar adapted from Cut out the Crap's yummy recipe. It's so easy to make. And everyone likes it. Yay! I've doubled the original recipe to make a large slice. This will last us the weekend and for school lunches too.
Preheat oven to 180c and line a 30cm x 20cm slice tin with baking paper and spread melted coconut oil all over sides and bottom to prevent sticking.
Ingredients:
-
2 ripe bananas (mashed if mixing by hand)
-
2 eggs
-
2 cups desiccated coconut
-
1 cup brown rice flour (I used Ceres Organic from the supermarket)
-
1 cup pumpkin seeds or you can use sunflower seeds (pumpkin seeds are high in zinc, which many of us kiwi's are lacking in due our soils being zinc deficient)
-
1 cup sultanas or raisins or chopped dates
-
1/2 cup coconut sugar (or sweetener of choice)
-
2 tblspns chia seeds
Method:
-
Place all the ingredients into a bowl and combine well. If you have a food processor, add everything in there, except the sultanas, and blitz for about 30 seconds.
-
Then add in the sultanas and pulse for a few seconds. Or mix by hand.
-
Tip the mixture into the prepared cake tin and press down well with damp hands until the mixture is flat to the edges of the tin and around 1cm high.
-
Bake in preheated oven for 20 to 30 minutes or until golden.
-
Allow to cool in the tin for 5 minutes before cooling on a wire rack. Remove the baking paper and cut into "bars". Store in an air tight container. You can freeze them too.
