These were really good! I doubled the portion size and tried one with maple syrup and one with dulce de leche (which was even better!). Topped each with about a quarter of a banana (since I don't like canned fruit). -
The DM and I thoroughly enjoyed this for a light lunch. Didn't have crumpets so used fruity english muffins, split and toasted and some tinned mango cheeks which I sliced, didin't use the nut option or maple syrup as I felt that would make it too sweet for us. Thank you Mandy, made for Aussie/Kiwi Swap #34 November 2009. -
Tasty and simple brekkie! I used a light ricotta and some crushed hazelnuts for the nut option, otherwise made exactly as stated. Next time I think I'll try it with some whipped cream cheese. Yum! Thanks Mandy! Made for ZWT 4. -
This is SOOO easy! DD and I loved the combination of flavors and textures. I used honey instead of maple syrup (personal preference) but I don't think it even needed that. Made for ZWT3.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
Melbourne I live on a 5 acre property in the Dandenong Ranges Victoria, Australia, having moved from the burbs when I became pregnant with my now 15 year old daughter Alyssa.
Once my daughter was born I became a stay at home mum as I couldn't bear the thought of putting her in daycare. She is the light of my life, I never imagined myself as a mum when younger but now wouldn't have it any other way. Alyssa was made a big sister on the 19th April 2010 when our cheeky little boy Blake was born. I love cooking and experimenting with new recipes so quickly become addicted to Zaar as it was previously known & still use it regularly. In addition to being my kids taxi :lol: I also spend my time, reading, gardening and of course shopping. I'm lucky enough that we have the space & so love growing our own fruits, vegies & herbs, this also means we have plenty of room for animals & at the moment have 2 dogs, Max, a Jackshund who's 6, Fletcher, a Kelpie who's 4, 6 cats Snowpea, Fergus, Ginger, Tango, Annie & Cookie, 4 chooks & 2 Ducks.
As well as our pets, we also have a lot of native animals around our area, we have kangaroos, wombats, echidna's, possums as well as rosella's, galah's & Cockatoo's hence the name of where I live..
