Ingredients
  

  • ½ cup (50g / 1.76 oz) almond meal
  • ⅓ cup (55g / 1.94 oz) raisins
  • 3 Tablespoons (25g / 0.88 oz) walnuts, finely chopped
  • 1 large egg, lightly beaten
  • 1 Tablespoon (8g / 0.28 oz) ground cinnamon
  • 1 Tablespoon (21g / 0.74 oz) honey or maple syrup
  • ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • For an extra layer of flavor, toast the walnuts in a dry pan for 3-4 minutes over medium heat before chopping and adding them to the mix.
  • For cleaner cuts, place the cooled cookie slab in the refrigerator for 20 minutes before slicing with a sharp knife.
  • Ensure you press the mixture down very firmly in the pan. This helps the bars hold together perfectly after baking.

  8. Transfer the mixture to your prepared baking tray.
  9. Using a spatula or your hands, press the mixture down firmly and evenly into a thin layer.
  10. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the top is firm to the touch.
  11. Remove from the oven and let it cool completely on the tray.
