RECIPE: Macadamia Mint Slice (Low FODMAP, Vegan, Gluten free) 🍫🌱 Servings: 16 servings

Ingredients:

For the Base:
- 60 grams dried figs
- 4 gluten free Weet-Bix (I use @sanitarium_au )
- 2 tbsp almond butter
- 1 tbsp cacao powder
- pinch salt
- 2 tbsp coconut oil
- 1/4 cup gluten free oats

For the Middle:
- 2 cups macadamias
- 1 cup icing sugar
- 1 cup almond milk (I use @sogoodau )
- 1 tsp peppermint extract

For the Top:
- 200 grams vegan dark chocolate
- 1 tsp coconut oil

Instructions
1. Grease or line a standard 20x20cm baking pan.
2. Place the dried figs and macadamias in a bowl and cover them in boiling water.
3. After 20 minutes, remove the figs from the bowl but leave the macadamias to continue soaking. In a high speed blender, pulse the figs with the remaining ingredients for the base until it forms a mixture resembling wet sand.
4. Press the base into the lined tin and squash it down with your hands to form an even layer. Place it in the fridge to set.
5. While the base is in the fridge, add the macadamias to the high speed blender and blend until they are as fine as possible.
6. Add in the almond milk, icing sugar and peppermint extract and process until as smooth as possible.
7. Spoon this mixture onto the base and smooth it with a spatula. Place in the freezer for 10 minutes.
8. Once this time has elapsed, melt the dark chocolate and coconut oil together in the microwave until smooth.
9. Pour it over the centre layer and smooth with a spatula. Keep in refrigerator or freezer until serving. The macadamia centre will stay harder in the freezer.

⠀
Servings: 7 sandwiches⠀
⠀
Ingredients:⠀
⠀
For the Cookies:⠀
- 1 cup oat flour⠀
- 1 cup almond meal⠀
- 1/4 cup low FODMAP self-raising flour (I use @lofopantry)⠀
- 1 tsp baking powder⠀
- pinch salt⠀
- 1/2 cup peanut butter⠀
- 6 tbsp almond milk (I use @sogoodau)⠀
- 1/2 cup caster sugar⠀
- 1/2 cup brown sugar⠀
⠀
For the Ice Cream⠀
- 150 grams frozen banana⠀
* 1 tbsp almond milk⠀
* 1 tsp maple syrup⠀
* 1/2 tsp vanilla bean paste⠀
⠀
Instructions:⠀
1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together all the wet ingredients for the cookies.⠀
2. Gradually sift in the dry ingredients, stirring after each 1/2 cup addition or so, until a uniform and still slightly sticky dough forms.⠀
3. Place the dough in the fridge for 30 minutes. Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius and prepare the banana ice cream.⠀
4. In a high speed blender, blend the frozen banana until it has been reduced into tiny pieces.⠀
5. Add the milk, maple syrup and vanilla bean paste and process until smooth and creamy.⠀
6. Place the ice cream in the freezer until required when assembling the cookie sandwiches.⠀
7. Once the oven is preheated, roll the chilled dough out into 14 balls and place them evenly on a lined baking sheet (you will need to do 2 batches). Flatten the balls with your hand or with a fork lightly coated in flour.⠀
8. Bake the cookies for 10-12 minutes or until slightly golden. Allow to cool on a rack completely.⠀
9. To assemble, scoop a chunk of the banana ice cream onto the flat side of one cookie, and sandwich another on top.
