I have an interest in more unusual ingredients (you may have noticed) and also slightly more healthy recipes ( I know how can cake be healthy !), so I thought I would give Agave nectar a go. This a natural sweetner extract from the mexican wild agave cactus. You need to adapt your standard recipes but there are plenty on the internet for you to try.
Ingredients
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1 cup spelt, whole wheat flour
- 1 cup ground almonds
- ½ tsp. salt
- ¼ cup raisins
- ¼ cup dried cranberries
- ½ cup agave nectar
- ½ cup vegetable oil
- ½ tsp. vanilla paste
Method
Mix all ingredients in a bowl, preheat oven to 180c, place small balls on dough on a oiled baking sheet, press down well, bake for approx 10-15 minutes, cool slightly and then transfer to a wire cooling rack until fully cool.
