A yummy, crunchy slice with (surprisingly) as much flavour as traditional slices high in butter and sugar. This was originally a recipe in Too Good To Be True but I've made changes to remove all butter and further reduce the amount of sugar used. Also low GI. Ingredients:
1 egg white |
1 tablespoon brown sugar |
1 1/2 tablespoons apple juice concentrate (this can be found in health food stores) |
2 tablespoons grapeseed oil |
3 tablespoons honey |
1 tablespoon shredded coconut |
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon |
3/4 cup chopped dried apricot, and |
dates (it's just a mixture of the two, so you can have a larger portion of apricots to dates, or vice versa) |
1/3 cup rolled oats |
3 cups special k cereal (you could also use sultana bran for something different, or just use plain rice flakes) |
3/4 cup whole meal flour |
1 teaspoon baking powder |
Directions:
1. In a medium mixing bowl beat the egg white, apple juice concentrate and sugar using an electric mixer. Add the honey and oil to the mixture and beat for 2 minutes.
2. With a wooden spoon stir in the coconut, cinnamon, apricots and dates, oats, rice flakes, flour and baking powder. Mix well.
3. Pour mixture into a lined slice tin and press down firmly with a metal spoon dipped in hot water.
4. Bake in a moderate to hot oven for 20-25 minutes or until golden and brown. Allow to cool before cutting.
