Method
Streusel:
- Add the walnuts (85g) to the bowl. Chop Closed Lid / Turbo / 1-2 x 1 second blasts until roughly chopped and set aside.
- Add the butter (20g) to the bowl. Program 1 minute / 90C / Speed 4.
- Add the sweetener (55g) to the bowl. Mix Speed 4 / 10 seconds.
- Add the quinoa flakes (50g), salt (pinch), cinnamon (1 tsp) and chopped nuts to the bowl. Combine Reverse+Speed 4 / 10 seconds. Set aside.
Batter:
- Preheat the oven to 180C.
- If you need to make your own almond meal, add almonds (150g) and grind Speed 8 / 10 seconds. Set aside.
- Without washing the bowl, add the butter (50g) to the bowl. Program 1 minute / 90C / Speed 4.
- Add the sweetener (85g) and egg (1) to the bowl. Mix Speed 4 / 30 seconds.
- Add the almond meal (150g), arrowroot (2 Tbsp), coconut (20g), vanilla (1 tsp) and baking powder (1 tsp) to the bowl. Mix Speed 4 / 20 seconds.
- Line a small loaf tin with baking paper and scrape half of the thick batter into the tin.
- Top with approximately half of the streusel mix. Use damp hands to spread the sticky mixture across, then place the rest of the batter on top and finish with the remaining streusel.
- Bake for 35-45 minutes. Watch during cooking as with top heating ovens you may need to cover with foil if the top is growing too fast.
