Flourless Apple & Cinnamon Traybake
Ingredients
- 2 Apples (ideally cooking or you can use sweet apples)
- 350 g Almond Butter (or cashew butter)
- 85 g Maple Syrup
- 3 Eggs
- 2 tsp Cinnamon (ground)
- 1 tsp Ginger (ground)
- 0.25 tsp Bicarbonate of Soda
- 0.5 tsp Sea Salt
Instructions
- Pre-heat the oven to 180°C (conventional) and line a 9 x 9 inch baking tin with greaseproof paper.
- Peel, core and roughly chop the apples. Place into a saucepan with a dash of water. Cook on a low-medium heat for approximately 8 minutes, until the apples are soft. Drain any liquid and set aside to cool a bit for 10 minutes. To cool the apple down faster, rinse the apple with some cold water.
- Put the cooled apple into a food processor with the rest of the ingredients. Blitz to create a smooth batter.
- Pour the batter into the prepared tin and bake in the pre-heated oven for 30-35 minutes.
- Allow to cool for a few minutes in the tin, then transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely.
- Cut into 12 pieces and serve!
Notes
- Nut-free – switch the nut butter to tahini (sesame paste)
- This traybake stores in a plastic bag or cake tin in the fridge for up to a week. Freeze the portions loose, and then transfer into a freezer bag. They will keep for up to 3 months in the freezer. Remove from the freezer and defrost at room temperature to serve.
