Looking for a sweet treat with absolutely no nuts? Look no further – our muesli slice has you covered.

2 tbs each of chia and linseeds
2 oranges, zest finely grated, juiced (you will need ⅔ cup juice, see notes)
1 tsp freshly grated nutmeg
3 large eggs, at room temperature, lightly whisked
1/3 cup (80ml) raw honey (see notes)
1/3 cup (80ml) coconut oil
3 cups (270g) rolled oats
3/4 cup (65g) desiccated coconut
3/4 cup (120g) pepitas
2 tbs white or black sesame seeds
1/4 cup (40g) wholemeal self-raising flour

Method

1.

Preheat oven to 160C/140C fan-forced. Line base and sides of a 20cm x 30cm straight-sided lamington pan with baking paper, making sure that the two long sides extend 2cm above the edge of the pan.
2.

Place the seeds, zest and juice in a large bowl and stir to combine. Stand for 3 minutes or until seeds are starting to soften and mixture looks slightly thickened thickened. Use a fork to whisk in nutmeg and eggs.
3.

Place honey and oil together in a heatproof jug and microwave on high in 30 second bursts for 1 ½ minutes to warm through and melt the oil. Stir well, then add to egg mixture in bowl, stirring to combine.
4.

Add all remaining ingredients and stir well to combine. Spoon into prepared pan, pressing down firmly to cover the base evenly and to level the top.
5.

Bake for 40 minutes or until slice has set firm and top is golden. Transfer to a wire rack and cool completely in pan. Remove and slice into 12 pieces.
6.

Serve or store in an airtight container in a cool, dark place for up to one week.

Recipe Notes

Use cold tap water to top up your amount of juice if needed to make the 2/3 cup measure. Raw honey is a true superfood and one of the best natural sweeteners. It’s packed with enzymes, antioxidants and nutrients. One tablespoon of raw honey has less impact on glycemic load than a single banana. Once pasteurised, honey loses many of its benefits. The darker the honey, the richer the flavour and the greater the nutrition benefits.
