Ingredients

Instructions

1. Heat the oven to 180 degrees C

3. The flour is completely optional, depending on the mix of ingredients you have chosen a little flour can help to bind things, if you have all lumpy ingredients with nothing small that mixes through, but if you have coconut, ground almond etc in the mix you don't tend to need the flour

7. If you are making cookies,and you have a little flour to hand I would recommend adding a little to the mix

9. Bake for 5-8 minutes, you want them to be golden and a little bubbly, they will still be soft
10. Cool on the tray for 5-10 minutes
11. Slide baking paper off the tray and onto a cooling rack, cool completely
12. Store in an airtight container, in the fridge if it's really hot and humid
13. Slice
14. Line a slice tin or cake tin with baking paper
15. Press the mix into the tin so that it is even

Notes

This recipe is very flexible, it's about combining textures so you can substitute many things

• Crunchy Cereal: Rice bubbles, puffed rice, cornflakes, toasted muesli
• Chewy Textrure: Rolled Oats, Quinoa Flakes, Desiccated Coconut
• Dried fruit: Raisins, sultanas, chopped dates, chopped dried apricots
• Nuts or seeds: Cashews, Almonds, Peanuts, sunflower seeds, macadamia nuts, pumpkin seeds

If you are using light condensed milk you may need to add 1-2 tablespoon of flour to the mix

Both the cookies and slice will be soft when they come out of the oven but will harden as they cool

For the recipe to harden properly they need to bubble a little during the baking process
