• In a separate bowl, mix the wet ingredients together.
• Add the wet ingredients to the dry and mix to ensure it all is coated evenly and feels like a dough texture.
• Line a small square or rectangle baking tray with baking paper and press the mixture down firmly to get an even spread. You can use another baking dish and baking paper to press down on the mixture so you get a nice even flat top before baking.
