Healthy snack – Mediterranean loaf

Gluten free Mediterranean Loaf

I always get asked for healthy snack or breakfast ideas, this is one that I would recommend.

A great alternative to sugar laden cereals and a filling snack during the day.

Ingredients and Directions

• 1 cup rice flour
• 1 cup almond meal
• 1/2 tsp bicarbonate of soda
• 1 grated zucchini or 2 small ones
• 1/2 cup chopped semi sun-dried tomatoes
• 1/2 cup diced ham
• 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
• 5 eggs
• 4 tbsp pepitas

Preheat oven to 160 degrees
Whisk the eggs and then add the zucchini, sun-dried tomatoes, ham, apple cider vinegar and half of the pepitas and stir until well combined.
Add the dry ingredients, mix well and then place in a baking tin lined with baking paper.  Sprinkle remainder of pepitas on top.
Place in oven for 30-40 mins or until a skewer comes out clean when inserted into the centre.
Remove from tin and allow to cool.
If you want to save some for later then pre-slice and freeze.  Toasted with some butter or coconut butter is delicious.

A square tin would possibly be more ideal for slicing however I love eating big chunks like the picture.
