50g pumpkin seeds
50g sesame seeds
50g flaked almonds

  • Add the soya milk and malt extract, mix well and leave to soak for about 30 minutes
  • Heat the oven to 190C/gas mark 5
  • Line a small loaf tin with baking parchment
  • The mixture should have a soft dropping consistency just too thick to pour. If it's too stiff, stir in some more soya milk
  • Spoon the mixture into the prepared tin and bake for 75minutes
  • Test with a skewer and if it is not cooked through allow 5 - 10 more minutes.
  • Turn out and cool on a wire rack. Eat in thick slices with a little soya spread.
