Aloe Fiber Rusks

Ingredients

QuantityIngredient
1kgSelf Raising Flour
500gButter
500mlButter Milk
2Eggs
750gOats
50-80mlAloe fibre
1 cupRaisins
1 cupMiracle seeds
5mlBicarb of Soda
10mlBaking Powder
300mlBrown sugar
*45-60mlEqual Liquid Sweetener (sugar alternative)
2mlSalt

Instructions

  1. Pre-heat the oven to 180°C/350f
  2. In a jug measure out the buttermilk then add the melted butter, eggs and whisk to combine.
  3. Sift the flour and salt together in a large bowl and then add the sugar (honey), oats, raisins, the seeds and mix to combine.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until you get a thick dough-like batter. If it is a bit dry, add a splash more buttermilk. It should be fairly sticky.
  5. Empty the mixture into a rectangular baking tin that has been lined with baking paper and approximately 23cm x 33cm with a 3 – 5cm rim. Spread it out evenly in the tin. Bake for 45 minutes and until golden brown. *Loosely cover with tin foil after 20 minutes of baking, to prevent the top surface turning too brown. Remove and allow to cool.
  6. When the rusks are cool, remove the paper and place on large board. Cut them into fingers the size that you would like. Then place these on a large flat baking sheet lined with paper allowing some space between each rusk.
  7. Dry out overnight (8 – 9) hours in a 60°C oven or for 6 hours in a 100°C oven. Turn them over once if you can. If you cut your rusks very thick, they might need a little more drying time.

Aloe Fiber Granola

Ingredients

QuantityIngredien
4 cupsold-fashioned rolled oats (use certified gluten-free oats for gluten-free granola)
50-80mlAloe fibre
1 ½ cupsRaw nuts and/or seeds (I used 1 cup pecans and ½ cup pepitas)
1 teaspoonfine-grain sea salt (if you’re using standard table salt, scale back to ¾ teaspoon)
½ teaspoonground cinnamon
½ cupsmelted coconut oil or olive oil
½ cupsmaple syrup or honey
1 teaspoonvanilla extract
⅔ cupsdried fruit, chopped if large (I used dried cranberries)

Optional additional mix-ins: ½ cup chocolate chips or coconut flakes*

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 180°C/350f and line a large, rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the oats, nuts and/or seeds, salt and cinnamon. Stir to blend.
  3. Pour in the oil, maple syrup and/or honey and vanilla. Mix well, until every oat and nut is lightly coated. Pour the granola onto your prepared pan and use a large spoon to spread it in an even layer.
  4. Bake until lightly golden, about 21 to 24 minutes, stirring halfway (for extra-clumpy granola, press the stirred granola down with your spatula to create a more even layer). The granola will further crisp up as it cools.
  5. Let the granola cool completely, undisturbed (at least 45 minutes). Top with the dried fruit (and optional chocolate chips, if using). Break the granola into pieces with your hands if you want to retain big chunks, or stir it around with a spoon if you don’t want extra-clumpy granola.
  6. Store the granola in an airtight container at room temperature for 1 to 2 weeks, or in a sealed freezer bag in the freezer for up to 3 months. The dried fruit can freeze solid, so let it warm to room temperature for 5 to 10 minutes before serving.
