  • Make a well in the center.
  • Add the almond butter mixture along with the powdered Gula Melaka.
  • Using a wooden spoon, mix well so that it all comes together to form a shaggy dough like mass.
  • Line a sheet cake pan with parchment.
  • Dump the mixture in the middle of the pan and gently spread out using your fingertips.
  • Now, use an inverted flat bowl and press the mixture and smooth it out evenly.
  • Bake this for 20 mins until set.
  • Cool and cut into squares.

Notes

In case you dont find Gula Melaka syrup, use Maple syrup or rice syrup. Honey will work too but the recipe wont be vegan then.
I used organic millet flakes for this but rice cereal will work well too.
Feel free to add your own choice of nuts and seeds.
