Almond and Chocolate Chip Slice
« on: January 22, 2009, 03:43:03 am »
With the ankle biters going back to school soon I thought this may be useful for lunches.

Almond and Chocolate Chip Slice

150g butter, chopped and at room temperature
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 eggs
3/4 cup dark choclate bits
3/4 cup almond meal (made in the thermomix)
1/2 cup plain flour
1/2 cup self raising flour
1 tablespoon milk
1/2 cup chopped almonds (blitzed in thermomix)

Put all the ingredients into the bowl, except the choc bits and the chopped almonds. Speed 4 for 40-50 seconds or until all the mixture is combined.
Add the choc bits and  :-: for 20 seconds to combine them.
Put into a lined, greased 18 x 28cm slice tray, sprinkle the chopped almonds over and cook for 25-30 minutes in a slow oven. 160 degrees Celsius.

This has been adapted from a recipe I found in a magazine.  (Can't remember which one)
Allow to cool in the pan before cutting into slices.

members' comments

Trudy - It was super quick and my Granddaughter loved it!!!!!!  Will certainly make it again. Thanks.

Rach - Mmmm... not too sure about this recipe... I dunno if I baked it long enough. Is it supposed to be a doughy cakey texture? I think it may not have been sweet enough for the kids 'cos we'd only had a choc slice (that was toooo sweet) a few days before.

cookie1 - Rach, this slice is more cakey (?) than cookie.  Hope that makes sense.

Rach - LOL it does make sense... it is one of those slices that is better with age too... I don't think it would be a favourite around here but it is still nice.

Lauren - Nice and easy to make and yes, cakey and not too sweet- perfect with a hot cuppa. Thank you.

May all dairy items in your fridge be of questionable vintage.

Which is exactly my problem, almost makes it about 1% painful as the poor parents who have the children with the nut allergy! Certainly makes you be aware of what you are baking and packing!

Gosh, I hadn't thought of that.  I should have as my last 10 years were spent at a nut free school.  Will have to find a nice 'nutless' recipe for the ankle biters.  :D

Cookie, how appropriate that this would come from you! No good for the kids booklet, (too late)  but send it in anyway for the baking book which is in the wings, waiting for a chance to shine...(in line with about another 30 projects!!)

I made this slice over the weekend - before Adelaide hit 41c

It was super quick and my Granddaughter loved it!!!!!!  Will certainly make it again.

Thanks

My stepdaughter is having a baby in 3 months.  Her friends have kids allergic to just about everything - maybe even air !!!

How things have changed - as you well know Brazen

yes i dont remember anyone with allergies from early childhood. my sister's friend was dx with an egg allergy at about 11/12 and that was the first i'd ever known. hardly anyone had asthma back then either...

I know what you mean. I had asthma growing up and my sister and egg allergy and we were DIFFERENT! lol

My 4 boys all have asthma, and one of them an egg allergy and bad eczema - my little girl so far nothing....cause she's a girl rofl

TM has helped so much with the eczema and asthma, as much as I tried to avoid thino previously, now they just don't get the nasties in thier food cause you can make it all yourself!! 

LOVE MY TM!!
