Tips

Recipe shown as 8 servings, which is suitable as a sweet breakfast or large snack. Can obviously be sliced in to smaller pieces more suitable as a dessert - or can be cooked as 24 muffins (approximate cooking time 45 minutes).

I use acid whey as additional liquid since I drain it from my homemade yogurt. It can be replaced with any liquid of your choice - with a milk or yogurt working well for flavour and protein.


Directions

Chop fresh pears in to rough 1/4" cubes, toss in ground cinnamon, and bake at 325-350 degrees for up to 1 hour, until just soft (550g will bake down to approximately 320g cooked).

Peel and cut fresh rutabaga in to rough 1" cubes and either steam or boil until just soft (I microwave on high for 7-8 minutes with a couple of Tbsp of water). 620g will cook down to approximately 570g after being drained and cooled.

Prepare 9" x 13" baking dish by generously buttering with 2g of unsalted butter.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F, with baking sheet on middle shelf (for potential spill over).

Chop all nuts (peanuts, almonds, hazelnuts, walnuts, sunflower seeds), cranberries, and dried figs, then mix with flaxseed meal in large mixing bowl. Stir in baked / cooled pears.

Put cooked / cooled rutabaga in to blender or food processor, along with whey, egg whites, molasses, oat bran, wheat germ, vanilla extract, dry milk powder, ginger, allspice, nutmeg, and cloves. Run on "smoothie" cycle (if available - or gradually ramp up speed to high) until blended into smooth, fairly thin liquid batter.

Pour batter over nuts / fruit in mixing bowl, and stir until fully mixed. Pour all in to prepared baking dish, shaking to distribute evenly.

Place in to preheated oven and bake at 350 degrees for 70 minutes, until knife inserted 1" from centre comes out clean.

Allow to fully cool on rack before slicing and serving - or, fully cool and cover, then refrigerate overnight (it does set more when refrigerated). Can be served cold, or warmed in microwave.

Store covered in refrigerator for up to 4 days, or individually wrap pieces and freeze.
