quick numbers

  • Prep time: 20 mins
  • Baking time:1 hour 10 mins

ingredients

Cake:

  • 125g salted butter, melted and slightly cooled
  • 1/2 cup Fancy Farmer Macadamia Oil
  • 1/2 cup castor sugar
  • ½ cup brown sugar
  • Zest of 1 lemon
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla bean paste or vanilla extract
  • 3 eggs
  • 2 cups plain flour
  • 1/2 cup almond meal
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1 cup thick natural Greek yoghurt
  • 1/2 cup full cream milk

Streusel:

  • 1/4 cup castor sugar
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup plain flour
  • 1/3 cup almond meal 
  • 1 cup chopped macadamia nuts
  • 1
    teaspoon vanilla extract

method

  1. Preheat your oven to 180°C and line a 23cm round springform pan with baking paper. Set aside.
  2. To make the streusel topping, mix together the Fancy Farmer Macadamia Oil, castor sugar, brown sugar, plain flour, almond meal, chopped macadamia nuts, and vanilla extract in a medium bowl. Stir until the mixture resembles damp, crumbly sand, then set aside.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, whisk the melted butter, Fancy Farmer Macadamia Oil, both sugars, lemon zest, and vanilla until well combined.
  4. Add the eggs one at a time, whisking after each addition until the mixture is smooth and slightly thickened.
  5. In a separate bowl, sift together the plain flour, almond meal, baking powder, baking soda, and sea salt. Gradually fold these dry ingredients into the wet mixture, being careful not to overmix.
  6. Pour in the Greek yoghurt and full cream milk, stirring gently until a smooth batter forms.

  8. Sprinkle the streusel topping generously over the surface of the cake batter, ensuring an even layer.
  9. Bake for 1 hour and 10 minutes, or until a skewer inserted in the centre comes out clean. The cake will develop a deep golden crust—this is intentional, so resist the urge to lower the oven temperature.

  11. Serve warm, dusted with icing sugar and accompanied by a spoonful of thick cream.

Fancy Farmer's Banana Pancakes

Even better if you make extra for snacks!

Print the recipe

quick numbers

  • Serves: 2-3 people
  • Prep time: 10 mins
  • Cook time: 10-15 mins

ingredients

  • 1 cup flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp cinnamon
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • 1 mashed overripe banana
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tsp macadamia oil
  • ¾ cup milk
  • 2 tbsp macadamia oil (for cooking)
  • Maple syrup (to serve)

method

  1. For these pancakes, start by mashing 1 ripe banana in a large mixing bowl until smooth. Add 1 egg, 1 tsp of macadamia oil, and ¾ cup milk, then whisk everything together until combined.
  2. In a separate bowl, combine 1 cup of flour, 1 tsp baking powder, ½ tsp cinnamon, and ¼ tsp salt. Stir the dry ingredients together.
  3. Now, pour the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as the batter should be a little lumpy.
  4. Heat 2 tbsp of macadamia oil in a large skillet or griddle over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, pour about ¼ cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown. You'll know it's time to flip when small bubbles appear on the surface of the pancake.
  5. Stack the pancakes on a plate, drizzle with maple syrup, and enjoy!
  6. These pancakes make 2-3 servings and are deliciously soft, fluffy and slightly sweet from the banana!

Healthy & Crunchy Macadamia Granola

If you haven't made you own granola before, it couldn't be easier...

And you get to put the good stuff in it!

Print the recipe

quick numbers

  • Serves:8-10
  • Prep time: 10 mins
  • Cook time: 20-25 mins

ingredients

  • 2 cups rolled oats
  • 1 cup coconut flakes
  • 1 cup macadamias
  • ½ cup mixed nuts (we used pecans, almonds and hazelnuts)
  • ½ cup sultanas (or any dried fruit of your choice)
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 1 pinch salt
  • ⅓ cup maple syrup or honey
  • ¼ cup Fancy Farmer macadamia oil
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract (orange essence would also be nice here)
  • 2 egg whites

method

  1. Preheat your oven to 180C and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. In a large bowl, combine the rolled oats, coconut flakes, chopped macadamias, mixed nuts and dried fruit. Add cinnamon and a pinch of salt, then stir everything together.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk together the maple syrup (or honey), macadamia oil, and vanilla extract (or orange essence).
  3. Lightly whisk the egg whites in another small bowl until frothy, then mix them into the wet ingredients.
  4. Pour the wet mixture over the dry ingredients and stir until everything is evenly coated.
  5. Spread the mixture out in an even layer on the prepared baking sheet.
  6. Bake for around 20-25 minutes, do not stir or mix the mixture once baking - this is what will make it clumpy and extra crunchy. Keep an eye on it, as it can burn quickly toward the end.
  7. Once golden and crispy, remove the granola from the oven and allow it to cool completely on the baking sheet. As it cools, it will crisp up further.
  8. Store in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks.
