Method

Place the vegan buttery spread, syrup, coconut sugar and vanilla in a mixing bowl and whip with a hand mixer until creamy and fluffy.

Mix together flours, salt, cinnamon, baking powder, almonds, pine nuts, and raisins to form a soft dough.

Form the dough into a 3-inch thick log: it will be long. Wrap it in plastic and chill for 1 hour before proceeding.
