Healthier “studentbread” – a delicious healthier version with a crispy base of almonds, oatmeal and honey, a delicious “rum ball filling” and a glaze with freeze-dried raspberries. You love my recipe for the classic studentbread, so I thought a healthier version could be scrumptious, too. The “rum ball filling” is based on my recipe for healthier rum balls, which is quite popular. I use kidney beans, dates, peanut butter and rum essence. They taste exactly like ordinary rum balls. The glaze can be made from sugar-free confectioner’s sugar, such as the one from EASIS. I decorated the student bread with freeze-dried raspberries, but you could use chopped or roasted nuts or other freeze-dried berries. Studentbread can easily be made a day in advance. Enjoy!

Rum ball filling
Put all the ingredients in a food processor and process to an even and slightly sticky mass. Add the rum/rum essence to taste and then spread the mixture over the cooled base. Refrigerate for 1 hour.
Mix the confectioner’s sugar and water together for an even glaze. Spread the glaze over the cake and sprinkle the freeze-dried raspberries on top. Refrigerate for 15 minutes and then cut it into 12-14 pieces of equal size. Enjoy!
