Pesto raw ingredients
So what else to do with a bank holiday weekend than some baking and experimenting with some new bakes & products. First up I’m a lover of Italian food and a massive fan of pesto, so simple but so tasty. Well it would have been simple if it weren’t for the blender breaking half way through the process but a after a quick trip to the shops it whizzed up a treat, hopefully coming to our virtual shelves soon!
Sugar free date & banana flapjack
Second up whilst planning a long cycle on the Monday I realised I was totally out of energy food so now was the ideal time to experiment with a new no added sugar flapjack recipe. Made with banana, dates and coconut oil (seems to be on trend lately!). The result was a really tasty, moist, soft oaty treat that succeeded in fuelling me around 90miles of Warwickshire countryside
The only concern is shelf life being so fresh and natural (can I say “raw”? although it is cooked), not that I expect it will last long once you’ve tried it. From the test bake only a single test piece remains sealed in a plastic bag to see how long it really lasts!
