  • Bake for 15-25 minutes. Leave to cool on the tray.

Notes

Besan flour is available form good supermarkets, online, health food shops, and Indian grocers.
Pea protein is available online or at health food shops.
You could also substitute 1cup oats/quinoa for 1 cup of my Simply Toasted Muesli (recipe here)
Coconut oil and linseed meal can be purchased from health shops, online or from most supermarkets. If you don’t have linseed meal use LSA (linseed, sunflower and almond) meal instead.
You can substitute all the flours for a 1 cup of good gluten free plain flour.
115g of melted butter can substitute all the oils. To make this a vegan recipe just use a mix of olive, macadamia oil and coconut oil to the value of 115ml/g.
Don’t have treacle? Add any type of syrup you like, golden, maple, date, apple.
