Ingredients

  • 1/3 cup quinoa flakes
  • 100ml cup pure maple syrup
  • 1/2 cup chopped nuts, lightly toasted (I used a combination of hazelnut meal and chopped macadamia nuts)

  • 50g coconut or buckwheat flour
  • 90g coconut oil

  • Shredded coconut for sprinkling on top

METHOD:

  1. Preheat oven to 160 degrees C.
  2. Combine nuts, quinoa flakes with 30g of coconut oil and 30ml of maple syrup.
  3. Greece a cake or baking tin before pouring in mix. Push down firmly to compact before putting in the oven for 6-8 minutes to colour. Remove and allow to cool
  4. Meanwhile in a mixing bowl combine the yolks, along with the rest of the maply syrup and coconut oil and combine until very smooth. Using a spatula in thirds add the cacao and buckwheat flour.
