Vegan Recipe: Jammy Cornflake Slice

 

This is a classic, easy to bake cornflake slice that the whole family will enjoy.

The ingredients make a large family sized slice, you can simply halve them if a smaller slice is required. 

 Ingredients:

- 2 cups of vegan butter or margarine

- 5 tablespoons of golden syrup

- 1 cup of caster sugar

- 2 cups of desiccated coconut

- 4 cups of crushed cornflakes (crush before measuring). Crush the cornflakes very small for a smoother slice, or leave them larger for a crunchier texture

- 3 cups of flour

- The equivalent of 3 eggs made with Orgran Vegan Egg Replacer 

- 1/2 teaspoon of salt

- A jar of your favourite jam - we use raspberry jam

 

Method:

- Set oven to approximately 180 C. 

- In a large bowl, combine the sugar, coconut, cornflakes, flour and salt. Stir well with a spoon.

- In the microwave, or using a saucepan on the stove top, melt the butter and add the golden syrup and stir together.

- Poor the butter and syrup mix over the dry ingredients and add the egg before mixing all the ingredients together well.

-  Divide the mix into two parts. Line your slice tray and press one half of the mix into the base of the tray.

- Spoon jam onto the base layer and smooth out with the back of a spoon. Use as much jam as you like, depending on the size of the slice. 

- Now break up the second half of the mix over the base and jam layer and press down to cover the jam. We also used a knife to add some small cuts into the top layer to aid with cooking.

-  Bake the slice in the oven for approximately 40 minutes if making a larger slice, around 25 minutes for a smaller one. The slice should be baked until golden on top. 

- The slice is dense so cut into pieces while it is still a little warm as it is easier for the knife to pass through. Use a sharp knife to cut the slice. 

- Enjoy as a snack or tasty lunchbox treat.
