Equipment:
20 x 25cm (8 x 10 in) baking tin
Recipe Ingredients:
| 4.25 oz (125 g) almonds, roughly chopped |
| 4.25 oz (125 g) quinoa flakes |
| 1.25 oz (40 g) sunflower seeds |
| 1.25 oz (40 g) chia seeds |
| 3.5 oz (100 g) dried cranberries |
| 4.5 oz (125 g) puffed rice cereal |
| 1.75 oz (50 g) dark chocolate chips |
| Zest of 2 large oranges |
| 2.75 fl oz (85 ml) coconut oil |
| 4 fl oz (120 ml) clear honey |
| 1 oz (30 g) light brown sugar |
Recipe Methods:
| 1 Place the almonds, quinoa flakes, sunflower seeds, chia seeds, dried cranberries, puffed rice cereal, chocolate chips and orange zest in a bowl. Mix well with a wooden spoon and set aside. Grease and line a 20 x 25cm (8 x 10 in) baking tin with greaseproof paper. |
| 2 Heat the oil, honey and sugar in a saucepan over a medium heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, for about 5 minutes, or until the sugar has melted and the mixture is bubbling. Set aside to cool for about 2 minutes. |
| 3 Pour the cooled honey mixture into the dry ingredients. Mix using a wooden spoon until well incorporated, making sure the chocolate chips have melted and are evenly combined. Spoon the mixture into the prepared baking tin. Press down firmly with the back of a wooden spoon to make a roughly even layer. |
| 4 Place the baking tin in the fridge for at least 4 hours, to allow the mixture to cool and harden. Remove from the fridge, turn out onto a chopping board and cut into bars. These can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days. |
