Georgia's malt syrup slice

Babiche Martens

My niece came to stay recently and introduced us to this nutty flourless slice, her go-to for a great snack. The only problem is, it was so good that it kept disappearing. I’ve called it Georgia’s Slice in her honour. It made a pleasant change from my baking, which usually starts with creaming butter and sugar. It has now become a Sunday ritual to make it for the week ahead.

Ingredients

1 ½ cups	Raw cashew nuts
½ cup	Almonds
½ cup	Sunflower seeds
½ cup	Pumpkin seeds
½ cup	Desiccated coconut
½ cup	Oats
2 Tbsp	Ground linseed
½ tsp	Cinnamon
½ cup	Rice malt syrup
½ cup	Coconut oil
1 tsp	Vanilla

Directions

1. Preheat an oven to 170C. Line a 20x20cm tin with baking paper.
2. Into a food processor place the cashews, almonds, sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, coconut, oats, linseeds and cinnamon.
3. In another small bowl place the malt syrup, coconut oil and vanilla and place into the microwave for 45 seconds to melt the oil. Add to the dry ingredients then blitz a couple of times to combine. Press the mixture evenly into the tin.
4. Place into the oven for 45 minutes. Remove and cool for 20 minutes before cutting into squares. Store in an airtight container.
