Ingredients
- 3 cups rolled oats
- 2/3 cup maple syrup
- 1/3 cup olive oil
- 1 tsp fine sea salt
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1 vanilla pod
- 1 cup peanuts
- 1/3 cup chia seeds
- 1/3 cup flax seeds
Instructions
- Set the oven to 325°F. In a bowl, mix the rolled oats, chopped peanuts, ground cinnamon, chia seeds, flax seeds, and salt.
- Add the olive oil, maple syrup, and vanilla pod seeds. Mix all the ingredients until they are slightly sticky.
- Separate the mixture into small clusters on a baking tray greased with oil.
- Bake for 20 minutes.
Notes
- Use old-fashioned rolled oats. They have the ideal texture and roll easily into clusters.
- Ensure you mix the syrup in with the other ingredients really well. This way, you mitigate the chances of your clusters falling apart.
- To make your clusters crispier, lower the temperature to 300°F and bake for longer. This will dry out the oats and promote clustering.
