Directions
-
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 160°C.
-
Step 2
Soak chia seeds in 1/2 cup water for a few minutes until they form a gel-like consistency.
-
Step 3
In a large mixing bowl, mash the bananas with the salt until you have a coarse paste. To the mixing bowl add all remaining ingredients (including chia seed mix) and use a spatula to fold everything through.
-
Step 4
Place contents into a lined 20cm brownie tin — you want the slice to be about 4cm in thickness. Top with some extra macadamias and pistachios and bake for 1 hour.
-
Step 5
Remove from the oven and allow to cool in the tray before slicing up and enjoying with a nice cup of tea!
