Healthier nutty slice



This is a relatively healthy slice (well, compared with other snacks), moist and tasty, and packed with nuts and fibre......

 

Ingredients:
- 3/4 cup nut oil of your choice. I used peanut the first few times, but next time I'll try almond. 
- 1 cup yogurt
- 1 cup oats
- 1 1/2 cups wholemeal / spelt flour (I used half and half)
- 1/2 cup almond meal
- 2 eggs, beaten
- Juice of an orange
- 1/3 cup honey / golden syrup
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon or mixed spice
- 1/2 cup mixed nuts, eg: walnuts, pistachios, almonds.

Method:
Keep the nuts aside while preparing the rest of the slice.   
Whisk the eggs with the yogurt, honey/syrup, and orange juice.  Add the spice.
Add all the dry ingredients and mix lightly, just enough to combine the ingredients.
Line a small baking tray with baking paper and pour in the batter.  Add the nuts over the top of the slice.
Bake in a moderate oven for 25 minutes or until lightly golden brown.  
This slice is best served once cooled and will last well if stored in the fridge.
