Grand Opening Celebration

Today is the launch of this new blog so we're celebrating with my favourite healthy slice. Well I tell myself it's healthy as it has no obvious added artificial preservatives, flavours or colours. And I always use organic ingredients where possible.
It only takes 10 mins to throw together with just about anything you have on hand so put on your pretty 50's style apron and turn on the oven.


Here's the recipe.

CELEBRATION SLICE


1 cup toasted muesli or any cereal you happen to have in the cupboard. A mixture of more than one is also good as long as it adds up to 1 cup.


1 cup rolled oats


1 cup coconut


1/3 cup self-raising flour


1/3 cup firmly packed brown sugar


2 tablespoons cocoa


1/4 cup of any dried fruit you have (Today I used cranberries)


1/4 cup of any nuts you have. (Today I used slivered toasted almonds) Seseme or poppy seeds would be nice too.


1/3 cup honey (or apple concentrate)


150g butter melted

Preheat oven to 180C


Combine all dry ingredients


Add honey and melted butter and mix well.


Press into a lined 28 x 18cm tray.


Bake for 20 minutes. Then allow to cool in the pan.




*ICING aka frosting


 2 cups icing sugar


2 tablespoons cocoa


a little hot water.


 To make the icing mix cocoa and icing sugar together and add drops of hot water until you get a spreadable consistency and spread over slice. Sprinkle with coconut, nuts or both and cut into squares.


 Now it's time to sit down with some slice and a cuppa and celebrate whatever's good about your day.
