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' commentsTrudy - 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.
