Ingredients
- 40g unrefined brown sugar and stevia blend *
- 175g self-raising flour *
- 2 medium eggs, beaten
- A few drops of almond essence
- 50g dried apricots * cut into small pieces

Method
Step 1 Preheat the oven to 180ºC/160ºC fan/gas mark 4 and line a baking tray with baking parchment. Put all the ingredients into a bowl and stir together until you get a stiff dough. Step 2 Dust the work surface with a little flour, and knead and shape the dough into a long flat sausage. Transfer to the baking sheet and bake in the oven for 20-25 minutes, or until it feels firm when pressed. Step 3 Remove from the oven, leave to cool for 10 minutes, then slice into 12 slices. Arrange the slices on the baking tray and bake for a further 5-10 minutes, turning halfway. Leave to cool and harden before serving. Shop our Food & Drink range.Sign up for exclusive offers
