Directions

    In a separate bowl, using a stand mixer with a whisk attachment, beat the honey, vanilla and egg until thick in texture, about 1 minute.
  6. 6
    Add the egg mixture to the fruit and flour mixture and mix using a spatula until everything is coated with the egg mixture.
  7. 7
    Spread onto the prepared baking pan, pressing to even out.

    Let cool before cutting.
