¼ cup coconut, shredded
½ cup dates, pitted
3 zucchini peeled and grated

1/3 cup agave syrup
½ cup orange juice

1 orange zested
Method

Grease a 24 cm spring base cake tin with coconut oil and line with baking paper.

Place the macadamia nuts, walnuts and coconut in a food processor and process until the mixture forms a breadcrumb consistency.
