Superfood Muesli Slice

I’m a huge fan of making my own almond milk, and if your’e into this too then you know all too well how much almond meal is left over that sometimes you just don’t know what to do with. So in an attempt to make good use of my leftovers I thought to myself – how can I incorporate this into a snack that will last me all week, is nutritious, yet yummy and will satisfy my mid afternoon sweet tooth.

*Light goes on inside head*

MUESLI SLICE!

I love muesli slices, there was a cafe across the road from my old workplace that does a killer muesli slice. Only thing is they are soo sweet I hate to think how much sugar they contain. This version is only sweetened with brown rice syrup and also contain goji berries which add a nice natural sweetness and a bucket load of antioxidants to this tasty raw snack. In terms of the other ingredients you can really get creative with what you add, the recipe below is what i used and is really just a guideline, I think as long as you have the main parts – almond meal, oats, sweetener, coconut oil – the rest you can play around with. If you like your slice to be a bit sweeter try replacing some of the seeds with chopped medjool dates, currants, figs or raisins.

This is a snack that will last you all week, is nutritious, yet yummy and will satisfy that mid afternoon sweet tooth.

Ingredients

• 2 chia eggs

• 1/4 cup pecans

• 1 cup almond meal

• 1/2 cup gluten free quick oats

• 1/2 cup goji berries

• 1/4 cup sunflower seeds

• 2 tbsp pepitas

• 1/4 cup cacao nibs

• 1/4 cup brown rice syrup

• 1/4 cup melted coconut oil

• 1 tsp vanilla essence

• 1 tsp cinnamon

Directions

• Mix chia seeds with 6 tbsp warm water, let stand for 5 minutes until egg like consistency is achieved.
• Soak your goji’s in warm water for a few minutes to rehydrate
• In a food processor pulse almond meal, pecans and gojis until just combined
• Add chia egg and pulse gently ensuring all ingredients are mixed together
• Add all remaining ingredients and mix on a low speed for 1 minute. Ensure you don’t over mix at this stage as you want the mixture to still have a lot of its texture and avoid it becoming one large bowl of batter
• Transfer to a large tupperware container lined with parchment paper – i used a container measuring 16x10cm
• Press the mixture down firmly so it’s tightly packed in
• Cover and place in the freezer for 1 hour
• Cut into rectangles approximately 2.5x5cm

Notes

• Store in an airtight container in the fridge.
• This slice is very dense so you only need a small serving in order to feel satisfied.
