  • 100ml maple syrup
  • 2 tbsp coconut oil, plus extra to grease
  • 50g roasted chopped hazelnuts
  • 50g pistachios, chopped
  • 75g flaked almonds, finely chopped

Method

7 steps
  1. Step 1

    Heat the oven to 200°C/ 180°C/ gas 6.

  2. Step 2

    Pour the maple syrup and coconut oil into a heatproof mixing bowl, set in the microwave and heat for 15 sec bursts until melted.

  3. Step 3

    Remove from the microwave and tip in the hazelnuts, pistachios, almonds, sunflower seeds, raisins and oat flour. Stir until well mixed and everything is fully coated in syrup and oil.

  4. Step 4

    Grease a 12-hole cupcake tin. Divide the mixture evenly between the holes, about 1 heaped tbsp each. Using the back of a spoon, press down the mixture down until smooth. Bake for 10-12 mins, until the edges begin to brown.

  5. Step 5

    Remove from the oven and leave to cool in the tin on a wire rack. Remove from the tin once fully cooled.

  6. Step 6

    Tip the chocolate chips into a microwave safe bowl. Heat in 30 sec bursts until just melted.

  7. Step 7

    Spoon a little chocolate over each florentine and spread evenly, use the tines of a fork to make the classic wave pattern, if you like. Chill until set, then serve.
