Australia Day is just around the corner and so that means BBQ's, pavlova, fish and chips and these lamingtons.

I found this awesome recipe on Skinnymixers and decided to adapt it a little and share it with you.

I made my version with macadamias instead of cashews. Not only are Macadamias my favourite nut, they are also quintessentially Australian.

They are now one of my favourite raw desserts along with my raw caramel slice bites, raw chocolate raspberry slice, raw peppermint slice, best ever caramel brownie slice, raw bounty slice and my coconut rough.
