Ben’s mother often makes panforte during the Christmas period and it’s one of the yummiest things I’ve ever eaten. I thought I’d try making a vegan panforte this morning and it turned out beautifully! It’s dangerously delicious which means I’ll need to find some self-control to avoid stuffing my face. I used this recipe but modified it slightly because I don’t like big chunks of peel. Here are my ingredients:
2.5 cups mixed chopped nuts (I used almonds, walnuts, cashews, and brazil nuts – I didn’t remove the skins because that’s where the good nutrients are! I also didn’t roast them first)
1.5 cups of raisins and currants
Finely grated skin of two oranges
0.5 cup of cacao powder
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1 tsp ground mixed spice
1 cup plain flour
0.5 cup agave syrup (it’s much cheaper than maple syrup)
0.5 cup raw sugar
3 tbsp olive oil
0.5 cup of boiled water
Mix all the dry ingredients. Put the agave, sugar, olive oil, and water in a small saucepan and heat until all the sugar has dissolved then mix with the dry ingredients. Bake in a moderate oven for about 25 minutes. Leave to cool then sprinkle with icing sugar and eat!
Doesn’t look very WeightWatcher friendly either, but yummy would fit the bill!
Nope, definitely not weight watcher friendly 🙂
It looks so delicious. Many thanks for the recipe. Best wishes Sebby
