Ingredients:

– 1½ cup almond meal

– ¼ cup coconut flour

– 2tbsp monk fruit powder

– ⅛ tsp baking soda

– ⅛ tsp salt

– 1 large egg, beaten

– ½ tsp vanilla extract

– ¼ cup honey

– ¼ cup melted coconut oil

– ¼ cup shelled, salted, finely chopped pistachios

– ½ cup diced, dried apricot

Method:

1. Preheat oven to 175°C & line a baking pan with a reusable baking sheet

2. Add the flours, sugar, salt & baking soda to a large mixing bowl. Use a fork or whisk and stir gently until combined

3. In a separate, heat proof bowl, pour the warm melted coconut oil over the honey. This will soften the honey and make it easier to work with

4. Stir briefly to cool it down slightly, then add the oil/honey mixture, egg & vanilla to the dry ingredients

5. Use an electric mixer & make sure all ingredients are well combined, then fold in pistachios & apricots

6. Scoop 2-Tablespoon portions of dough & press firmly into a ball. Press down slightly into a thick disc and repeat with the rest of the dough, placing them 1 inch apart

7. Bake 13-15 minutes, until golden brown around the base. They will still be very soft

8. Allow to cool for 5-10 minutes on the cookie sheet, where they will firm up a bit, before transferring to a rack to cool completely

9. Serve immediately, or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week, or in the freezer for up to three months

Did you know that we are a collection point for Blister Pack Recycling?

Blister packs are a type of packaging made from a combination of plastic and aluminum, making them tricky to recycle; however, with a little effort they can be recycled through specialist recycling programs and given a new life.

Blister pack recycling helps to reduce the amount of waste that ends up in landfill by ensuring that the plastic is recycled into new products. This helps to reduce the amount of plastic that pollutes the environment and can be harmful to animals and ecosystems. Additionally, recycling helps to conserve resources and reduce the amount of energy needed to produce new products from raw materials. Finally, recycling blister packs can help to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, as producing new products from recycled materials requires fewer resources and produces fewer pollutants.

You can recycle any brand of empty medicinal blister packs but do not bring in blister packs containing medicine. Unused medication can be taken to your local Pharmacy for correct disposal. Outer cardboard packaging can be recycled in your kerbside recycling bin.

Once collected, the material packaging is broken down and separated. Plastics are cleaned and recycled into new products, while the metal is smelted and converted to new alloys.

This service is by donation as a single box costs Wasteless Pantry $192.50 to be recycled. Available at Mundaring and coming soon to Bassendean!
