Quinoa and sesame raw slice

Perfect for lunchboxes, this slice is nut, gluten and dairy free. Sweetened with honey and a deliciously nutty flavour from the puffed quinoa, the kids are sure to love it. You could use sultanas, dried apricots or currants instead of goji berries if you fancy.

Quinoa and sesame raw slice

Ingredients
  

  • 200 grams honey
  • 100 grams tahini
  • 80 grams coconut oil
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • A pinch of salt
  • 120 grams puffed quinoa 
  • 1/3 cup sesame seeds
  • 1 cup goji berries
  • 1/4 cup sunflower seeds

Instructions
 

  • Place a small saucepan on a set of scales and add the honey, tahini, coconut oil and vanilla. Taring as you go. This avoids mess and greater accuracy. 
  • Place the saucepan on low heat and stir until it becomes runny and the coconut oil has melted. Add a pinch of salt and vanilla and remove from the heat.
  • Combine the remaining ingredients in a large bowl and pour in the contents of the saucepan. Stir well to combine.
  • Line a tin,  I used a 24cm square tin. with baking paper. Using damp hands, press the slice into the tin evenly. Set in the fridge for about an hour. 
  • Slice into even pieces of your desired size and store in the fridge or freezer in an airtight container.
