1. Preheat the oven to 350ยบF. Grease a 14ร—5โ€ tart pan or 8ร—8โ€ square pan with coconut oil (I recommend lining the pan with parchment paper as well if your pan doesnโ€™t have a removable bottom).

2. Put coconut flour in a bowl. Add the maple syrup and stir until fully combined and crumbly. Add the room temperature coconut oil and mix until a large dough ball forms, pressing out any clumps of coconut oil. I used my hands at the end to bring the dough fully together.

3. Press the dough into the prepared pan. Bake for 9-11 minutes, or until golden brown around the edges. Let cool completely.

4. For the filling, combine all of the ingredients in a small saucepan and heat until all of the ingredients are melted and throughly combined. Pour over the crust and let cool in the refrigerator until set before topping with chocolate layer.

5. For the chocolate topping, whisk together all of the ingredients and pour over the cooled caramel layer. Smooth evenly and sprinkle with flaky sea salt. Let cool until set. Slice into 1-inch slices, or 16 squares. Keep stored in the refrigerator.

Pick up your ingredients from Organics 4 Life, Woody Point.

Caboolture West has officially been namedโ€ฆโ€ฆWARABA! ๐ŸŽ‰๐Ÿ™Œ

Endorsed by Traditional Custodians, the Kabi Kabi word Waraba (Wa-ra-ba) means โ€˜burnโ€™ and refers to the traditional land management practices used to rejuvenate the land.

The surrounding suburb names: Wagtail Grove, Corymbia, Lilywood and Greenstone celebrate local, wildlife, plants and rocks found in the area. ๐Ÿฆ˜๐Ÿ”ฅ๐Ÿƒ

We received 572 submissions for names from the community in what was the largest place naming consultation project initiated by a local government in Queenslandโ€™s history!

Weโ€™re proud to have worked closely with the community, Traditional Custodians, and the State Government to come up with names and boundaries that are truly owned by the community. ๐Ÿ‘

The new city of Waraba will cater for roughly 70,000 new residents over the next 40 years and is a key part of Councilโ€™s planning for growth in the future. ๐Ÿ˜๏ธ๐ŸŒณ

See you in Waraba! ๐Ÿ‘‹

Last month I interviewed Professional wakeboarder, Mitch Langfield to learn about his initiative in reducing food waste by turning it into compost.

When he discovered the importance of compost and worm farming for soil regeneration, Mitch Langfield decided to set up a business.
