Notes
- Store in the refrigerator for 3-5 days, or freeze
- Be patient: This mixture can take what seems like quite a bit of blitzing to come together.
- If after 3-5 minutes of food processing the mix is still not coming together add 1-2 Tablespoons of water.
- If your food processor struggles with the dates, try soaking them in warm water first. Or pop them in a microwave-proof bowl, add a splash of water, cover then microwave for a couple of minutes.
- I tend to just use regular dried dates as they are so much cheaper. but you can use Medjool dates, they are softer and easier on food processors.
- Weetbix: This can be substituted for generic brand cereal ie Wheat Biscuits
- Sunflower seeds: These can be substituted for any nuts or seeds
- Dates: These can be substitutes for raisins or sultanas. Dried apricots are an option but give the slice quite a different look and flavour profile. I typically use regular dates but you can use medjool dates which are softer.
- Desiccated coconut: This can be left out entirely, just increase the seeds or nuts by half a cup.
- Honey: This can be substituted for rice malt syrup. I have also used maple syrup but the slice was a little stickier with the maple syrup.
