Ingredients

  • 3 cup rolled oats
  • 6 tbsp maple syrup
  • 1/4 cup peanut butter or nut butter of choice
  • 1/4 cup cacao powder
  • 1/2 tsp sea salt adjust to taste if using salted nut butter

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 180 degrees C fan-forced, and line a baking tray with paper (or reusable baking mat.)
  • In a medium bowl combine oats, cacao powder and salt until thoroughly combined.
  • In a seperate bowl mix the peanut butter and maple syrup together until smooth. Add to the dry ingredients and mix until the oats are full coated and everything is well incorporated.
  • Pour onto your lined baking tray and spread out evenly. Bake for 8-10 minutes or until crunchy (keeping in mind they will harden as they cool, so be careful not to burn them). Allow to cool before storing in an airtight container or jar at room temperature for about a week.
