Yields1 Serving

 500 g Mixed nuts
 1 cup Quinoa flakes (completely optional)
  cup shredded or flaked coconut- preservative free
 2 tbsp quality organic rice malt syrup
 2 heaped tbsp extra virgin coconut oil •stevia drops to sweeten to taste
 2-3 good tsp vanilla paste, to taste
 1-3 tsp cinnamon powder, to taste
Optional:
 Chopped dried dates, figs or apples- preservative free!
 Orange or lemon zest
 100% maple syrup or raw honey in place of rice malt
 Macadamia oil in place of coconut oil
 Raw Cacao for chocolate flavour to delight the kids!

1

Place nuts in 3 batches into your blender and pulse (or chop or use a food processor)- you want varying consistencies from mostly a fine meal, with some finely chopped and some chunky. Add this and all dry ingredients to a large baking tray.

2

Drizzle over syrup and spoon in coconut oil, cinnamon and a generous amount of vanilla. Use your fingers to rub mixture together; distributing ingredients evenly and forming little clusters like an apple crumble topping. Bake at 165C until golden and crunchy- check frequently and toss, taking care not to burn it can turn very quickly!

Serving Suggestion:
3

Serve with organic plain yogurt and your favourite fruit- grated apple, sliced banana or fresh fig, berries, and sliced pear all work great.

4

Also yummy as a snack or dessert all on its own! And adds amazing crunch to vanilla ice cream on your cheat day.

5

*If you do not have a blender or processor buy some almond or hazelnut meal and use that with some chopped nuts. If grains do not worry you use oats in place of quinoa flakes.

6

Store in an airtight jar or container.
