I love coconut. I made a coconut cake recently that I will share anon but first these coconut and almond bars - they are lovely and sweet and chewy and full of good things. I overbaked mine so they turned out a little too golden-brown, so I have reduced the cooking time here. They were still delicious though!
INGREDIENTS:
75g
ground almonds
75g
porridge oats
50g

- Combine the soya milk and almond essence and add to the dry ingredients
- Mix thoroughly, and firmly press (with your hands) onto a greased baking tray
- Cook at 180C for 25 mins, then raise temp to 230C for another 5 mins, or until golden-brown
- Mark into 20 squares while still warm (I used a fish-slice)
- Cool and eat!
