INGREDIENTS:

(SERVES 6)

​

• 1 cup wholemeal spelt flour

• 1 1/4 tsp baking powder

• 2 tbs almond meal

• 3 tsp cocoa powder

• 6 dates, roughly chopped

• 1 tsp vanilla essence

• 2 eggs

• 100g melted nuttelex (butter alternative)

• 1/3 cup stevia

• 2 tsp chia seeds

• olive oil spray

​

METHOD:

​

1. Pre heat oven to 180 degrees and spray a round 10" baking dish with olive oil spray.

2. Sift the flour and cocoa powder into a large mixing bowl.

3. Add remaining ingredients and mix well with an electric mixer until a nice batter is formed. If too dry, add a little bit of olive oil. If too wet, add more almond meal.

4. Use a wet spoon to spread mixture in the round baking dish - approximately 1cm in thickness.

5. Bake for 15 - 20 minutes. The top will be crispy and the middle will be soft. To check, press the top of the slice to see if it bounces back.
