I wanted to recreate the 5am brand- cocoa + coconut granola (in pic) This is a breakfast cereal. so I came up with these, I pimped them up a bit and added lots of seeds. They are nut free so you can also use as a school snack. You could also do this without oats and replace with more coconut and seeds. Chocolate oat and seed clusters Ingredients 2 cups of oats ½ cup shredded coconut ½ cup of chopped pumpkin seeds ½ cup of flaxseeds ½ cup of sesame seeds ¼ cup of chia seeds 1/3 cup of honey or maple ½ cup of coconut oil or you can use light olive oil or a mix of the 2-make sure the coconut oil is liquid 2-3 tbsp cacao powder- I used 3 tbsp, was quite chocolaty, will use 2 tbsp next time Method Mix altogether and spread out on a lined tray about 1 cm thick, pack down. Bake at 140c for about 1 hour. It will still be crumbly when you take it out but when it cools it firms up. If you find its not all crisp after cooling you can put in back in the oven, I found some of the middle wasn’t done when it cooled as it was thicker so I took the outside bits that were crispy and put in a container and then put the rest back in for 10 minutes. Serve in big pieces as a snack or break up a little more and have for breakfast with milk, yoghurt and berries/banana. Store in an airtight container
