Ingredients

  • 1.5 cups (135g) Rolled Oats
  • 1/2 cup (110g) Whole Almonds roughly chopped
  • 1 tbsp Cacao Powder
  • 1/2 cup (120ml) Maple Syrup
  • 4 tbsp Coconut Oil
  • 1/2 cup (15g) Puffed Quinoa (or puffed rice)

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 150°C. Line a flat baking tray with parchment paper.
  • In a saucepan on a low heat, add the maple syrup and coconut oil and stir until the coconut oil is completely melted.
  • Add the oats and almonds into a large bowl and pour the maple syrup and coconut oil mixture over. Stir so everything is evenly coated. Add the cacao powder and stir again.
  • Lay the mixture flat on the baking tray and spread out so it's all in one layer. Bake for 45 minutes, stirring every 10-15 minutes to ensure an even cook. Once done, remove from the oven and allow to cool.
  • Once it is completely cool, add to a bowl and mix in the puffed quinoa. Store in a glass jar for up to 2 months.
