Makes 4 cups
2 cups rolled oats
1 cup slivered almonds
1/4 cup pumpkin seeds
1/4 cup cacao nibs
1/4 cup coconut chips
1 tbsp chia seeds
3 tbsp maple syrup
2 tbsp brown rice syrup
2 tbs EV coconut oil
1 tsp pure vanilla extract
1/2 cup cocoa powder ( I use Valhorna)
1/3 cup dried sour cherries
Preheat the oven to 160ºC and line a tray with baking paper.
Mix all dry ingredients in a big bowl, mix the rest of the ingredients except the cherries in a small pot and put on low heat, stirring until everything is combined. Alternatively you can use the microwave in small burst.
Spread the mixture evenly on the tray in a single layer, you want it to be spread out so it toasts evenly. Toast for 10 min, mix carefully with a spatula and put back in the oven for another 10 min, from here you have to check depending on your taste. I like mine crunchy and golden so I put it back one more time for approx 5 min till the coconut (which is the first one to burn) turns golden. Cool down for 10 min and add the sour cherries mixing well.
Leave to cool and store in an airtight jar.
Serve with natural yogurt, fresh fruit, put in your smoothies or eat by itself.
