Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180 degrees / 160 degrees fan.
Grease a large baking tin (a large, deep one is perfect here as this amount makes a large tray bake!)
Measure out your rice flakes, flour, ground almonds and chopped glace cherries. Mix together thoroughly.
Then add your maple syrup and golden syrup (or rice syrup) to the mixture and mix once more.
Next add your beaten eggs & coconut oil (the coconut oil needs to be melted, which can be done easily in a microwave) Mix this in.
Make sure your jam is fairly smooth and stir it into the mixture. Make sure it doesn't clump together and is spread throughout the mix.
Spoon your mixture into your prepared tray bake tin, make sure it is evenly pressed down.
Put the tray bake into the oven for about 20 minutes, until golden.
Once done remove from the oven and leave to cool in the tin for a short while before taking it out and placing on a cooling rack.
Once cold cover the traybake with glace icing (made from icing sugar mixed with a small amount of water - I love to have the icing really thick & a shiny white colour.
Once fully covered, place in the fridge or leave in a cool place for a while to allow the icing to set.
Once the icing has set, with a sharp knife cut the tray bake into slices & finish with a glace cherry!
Enjoy!
