Bestow Turmeric Slice

Ingredients 1/2 cup of green banana flour (could sub almond flour) 3/4 cup of dried apricots, chopped (we prefer organic – sulphite  free and they taste heaps better!!) 1/4 cup of sultanas 1 cup of coconut chips 1/3 cup of coconut butter 1/2 cup of mango or pineapple (fresh or frozen) 2 teaspoons of ground turmeric 3 tablespoons of coconut oil 1 tablespoon of Bestow Beauty Plus Oil (or Bestow Beauty Oil) Pinch of Himalayan salt

 Method

Line tin with baking paper. Combine coconut oil, coconut butter, mango or pineapple, Himalayan salt and turmeric in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Stir until mango or pineapple has melted down and all ingredients are well combined. To help this process, once it has warmed through you can mash it in the saucepan.

Remove from the heat and add dry ingredients to saucepan. Mix well. Press the mixture into the prepared tin. Make sure to press down firmly so the mixture is compacted and will set well.

Place in the freezer for at least 2 hours. Slice into squares and keep in the freezer. Remove from the freezer a few minutes before serving.
