These crunchy nut clusters, caramelised in a honey, date and banana paste are so yummy and taste very naughty! The recipe came about after using up all the left over packets of nuts from Christmas and I've been making it ever since!
It's my go to breakfast as it's so easy to take with me when I'm on the go and goes perfectly sprinkled on top of some natural Greek or coconut yogurt.
Most shop bought cereals are loaded with tons of sugar and preservatives, which causes a spike our blood sugar levels and leaves us feeling hungry shortly after. This recipe is loaded with Vitamin E, fibre and omega-3 and sweetened with natural honey and fruit. The cinnamon also helps to balance our sugar levels to avoid that crash!
Ingredients:
1/2 cup almonds
1/2 cup cashews
1/2 cup macadamias
1/2 cup pecans
1 cup unsweetened, desiccated coconut
2 bananas
4 medjool dates
2 tbsp. Honey
1 tbsp. Cinnamon
1 tbsp. Coconut oil
Pinch of unrefined salt
Method:
Preheat the oven to 190 degrees.
Blend the bananas, dates, honey, cinnamon, coconut oil and salt in a food processor, until it
becomes a sweet caramelised paste.
Add the nuts and coconut into a large bowl and pour the paste over the top, mix well.
Pour nut mix onto a lined baking tray and bake in the oven for approx 30 minutes (until crunchy). Check and stir occasionally.
Once cooled, transfer into a jar and sprinkle on top of yogurt or enjoy soaked in coconut or almond milk.
