Ingredients

  • 2-3 cups brown sugar
  • 1/3 cup flax seed flour mixed with equal part water (leave to curdle for 5mins)
  • 1/2 cup canola oil
  • 500ml boiling water (sub half with plant milk if you like)
  • 500g margarine or vegan butter 
  • 1kg self-raising flour or cake flour 
  • 5 cups bran
  • 3 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 cup mixed seeds and nuts (I used pumpkin, sesame, sunflower, and pecans)

Method

1. Preheat oven to 180 degrees Celsius. Sift the self-raising flour, baking powder, and salt, then add in the sugar, bran, and nuts and mix well with a wooden spoon.
2. Measure the margarine, add in the flax egg, boiling water, canola oil, and vanilla.
3. Make a well, pour in the wet into the dry, and rub the butter mixture into the flour mixture until a smooth batter starts to form, press the batter into the rusk tray of choice, sprinkle more sugar on top, and bake for 35-40 minutes until golden.
4. Once baked, let it cool, slice into fingers, and then dry out at 100 degrees Celsius for 1-2 hrs.
