Ingredients

  • 140 g rolled oats
  • 20 g cocoa nibs
  • 50 g pumpkin seeds
  • 50 g sunflower seeds
  • 25 g slivered almonds
  • 50 g pecans, chopped
  • 50 g hazelnuts
  • 40 g flaked coconut
  • 20 g caster sugar
  • 100 g maple syrup
  • 15 g Dutch processed cocoa powder
  • 25 g dried cranberries
  • 50 g good-quality dark chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Heat oven to 160°C (140°C fan forced).
  2. In a large bowl, combine the oats, cocoa nibs, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, almonds, pecans, hazelnuts and flaked coconut.
  3. Place 25 ml (1 tabsp + 1 tsp) water and the sugar, maple syrup and cocoa powder into a saucepan and bring to the boil while whisking.
  4. Pour the hot liquids over the combined oats, seeds, nuts and coconut, then stir until evenly coated.
  5. Spread the mixture into a thin layer over lined baking trays and bake in the pre-heated oven for 20 minutes. To ensure even baking, remove the trays from the oven 2-3 times during the baking time and turn the mixture.
  6. Allow to cool completely at room temperature.
  7. Once completely cooled, add the cranberries and chocolate then mix until evenly distributed.

Note
Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 weeks.

Cook's Notes

Oven temperatures are for conventional; if using fan-forced (convection), reduce the temperature by 20˚C. | We use Australian tablespoons and cups: 1 teaspoon equals 5 ml; 1 tablespoon equals 20 ml; 1 cup equals 250 ml. | All herbs are fresh (unless specified) and cups are lightly packed. | All vegetables are medium size and peeled, unless specified. | All eggs are 55-60 g, unless specified.
