Ingredients
- 1/3 cup quinoa flakes
- 100ml cup pure maple syrup

METHOD:
- Preheat oven to 160 degrees C.
- Combine nuts, quinoa flakes with 30g of coconut oil and 30ml of maple syrup.
- Greece a cake or baking tin before pouring in mix. Push down firmly to compact before putting in the oven for 6-8 minutes to colour. Remove and allow to cool
- Meanwhile in a mixing bowl combine the yolks, along with the rest of the maply syrup and coconut oil and combine until very smooth. Using a spatula in thirds add the cacao and buckwheat flour.
- Fold in your raspberries allowing them to break up.
- In a separate bowl add the salt to the egg whites and using an electric beater mix until soft peaks
- In thirds fold egg whites into cacao mix and combine.
- Pour mix over toasted nut base and put in the oven for 15-20 minutes or until cacao top is set.
