My famous crunchy nut mix

Organic granola from a specialty store is delicious, but some of their pricing is not...

And so I decided to create my own home-made crunchy nut mix. It is a family favourite and usually goes within a day.

It is the perfect combination of chewy and crunchy.

My partner takes them to work and a few of his colleagues have even asked for the recipe and then made them for me (so lovely!)

Packed with protein, they are perfect for a sweet snack or to sprinkle over your breakfast in the morning. They are also a great option for a 'lactation' snack.

Ingredients:

• 2 cups of organic mixed nuts
• 4 scoops MH unflavoured collagen
• 1 tbs chia seeds
• 1/3 cup organic rice malt syrup
• 1 tbs molasses
• ½ cup of goji berries
• ½ cup of organic oats
• ½ of organic desiccated coconut
• ½ cup of peanut butter

Method:

• Pre-heat oven to 150 degrees celsius
• Chop nuts roughly (rustic look is fine)
• Combine dry ingredients in bowl
• Add wet ingredients- peanut butter, rice malt syrup and molasses
• Mix with a wooden spoon until all the ingredients stick together. You can add more rice malt syrup if needed
• Line oven tray with baking paper
• Spread mixture evenly on tray
• Bake for 15 minutes
• Allow to cool for 2 hours- this makes it crunchy and chewy
