Another yummy slice! And love all the seeds making it a great option for school lunch boxes given nut restrictions. But I think my slightly fussy four year old can smell that theyโre a bit healthier and wasnโt as big a fan as meโฆ ๐ซ

I tried this recipe and it tastes great. I did a few swaps and changed it to gluten free but unfortunateky it didnโt hold as well as the original recipe โ very crumbly. If doing GF version โ might need to add a bit more liquid. Otherwise s great tasty recipe!
