Hot Cross Bun Slice
Offset all those chocolate eggs with a delicious and filling Easter-inspired sweet treat.
A brilliant complement to a cup of tea
Doesn't look like hot cross buns. Doesn't use flour, sugar or yeast.
But it is sweet, spiced, fruity and surprisingly reminiscent of hot cross buns!
Make it in the time it takes to boil the kettle.
Preparation Time: 5 minutes
Resting Time: 30 minutes
Makes: 10 small servings
Ingredients
1/2 cup almonds
1 cup mixed dried fruit
1/2 cup rolled oats
1/2 cup dates
1/4 teaspoon mixed spice
Method
Line a small tin (any shape) with plastic wrap.
In a food processor, chop almonds into large crumbs.
Nourishing ingredients
Add remaining ingredients and blend until a rough paste forms. If it's still too dry to stick together, add a tablespoon of water at a time.
All done bar the eating
Press into the tin with the back of a wet spoon.
Chill for half an hour before slicing into 10 delicious pieces. Store in the fridge.
