Recipe


Ingredients

  • ½ cup almond butter
  • ¼ cup rice-malt syrup
  • 1–2 tbsp maple syrup
  • ¼ tsp sea salt
  • ½ tsp vanilla
  • 1 cup buckwheat
  • ½ cup almonds, roughly chopped
  • 1½ cups brown-rice puffs (or millet or quinoa puffs)
  • 1 cup desiccated coconut
  • ½ cup raw cacao powder

Method


  • Preheat oven to 150°C.
  • Combine almond butter, rice-malt syrup, maple syrup, sea salt and vanilla in large bowl.
  • Add remaining ingredients and mix well to combine — I find this easiest using my hands — to make sure everything is coated.
  • Line baking tray with baking paper and spread mix on top.
  • Transfer to oven and bake for 15–20 mins until nuts and coconut are just starting to brown.
  • Remove from oven and allow to cool completely.
  • Keep in airtight jar.
