Guest guest Posted January 7, 2007 Report Share Posted January 7, 2007 Here is one of the new recipes I tried last week. It comes from my most recent vegan cookbook purchase and it was truly yummy. Non- vegans could use butter. The recipe called for brazil nuts but I used some macadamias which needed using up and they were really good. I was thinking that it might be also good with reconstituted dried apricots in place of the bananas - I shall try that next time. Christie Banana Flapjacks 50g (1 ¾ oz) brazil nuts, roughly chopped 115g (4 oz) margarine 75g (2 ½ oz) soft brown sugar 2 Tbsp golden syrup (corn syrup?) 375g (13 oz) porridge oats ½ tsp baking powder 2 ripe bananas, mashed Preheat oven to 180C/350F/Gas Mark 4. Dry fry the brazil nuts in a frying pan over a moderate heat, stirring frequently until golden, about 5 mins. Lightly grease a 23 x 33cm (9 x 13 in) Swiss roll tin (jelly roll pan?) Put the margarine, sugar and syrup into a large saucepan and stir over a low heat until melted. Mix in the brazil nuts, oats and baking powder. Add the bananas and mix well. Spread the mixture out in the Swiss roll tin and bake for 20 mins or until the edges are beginning to turn golden. Cut into squares while still warm. Leave to cool slightly in the tin and then finish cooling on a wire rack. taken from The Joy of Vegan Cookery by Amanda Grant Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
