Servings: 10 servings
Calories: 64kcal
Equipment
- Small bowl
Ingredients
- ½ cup pumpkin seeds
- ¼ cup coconut flakes (dried coconut not fresh)
- ¼ cup flaked almonds
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds
- 2 tablespoon maple syrup
- sprinkle salt
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 170C / 340F and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
- Add the seeds, nuts, coconut flakes and salt to the bowl, then drizzle on the maple syrup. Stir very thoroughly so that the maple syrup coats all the ingredients.
- Spread the mixture onto the parchment paper so that there is a thin layer (about 0.5cm thick), with no gaps. Bake the mixture on the bottom of the oven for 20 minutes (watch for any signs of burning in the last few minutes). Take out of the oven and don't touch it! The mixture will solidify as it cools and stick together.
- Once the mixture has cooled, carefully break into clusters of the size of your choice. This is a delicate process so approach with care!
- Serve immediately or store in a sealed container. Enjoy!
Notes
- Stir very thoroughly so the maple syrup coats all the nuts and seeds.
- Watch the oven towards the end of cook time, as the clusters can burn easily.
- Allow the mixture to cool before handling or breaking into the clusters. The clusters are rather fragile, so handle with care! But even if they break a little they are still delicious! You could even use any broken bits as a topping for other sweet treats.
