About a week of naughty snacking/topping/breakfast
(for me, a day!)
Airtight cereal bin
OR re-useable ziplock bag
METHOD
Heat. Preheat oven to 175℃ / 350℉
Melt. Coconut oil (if not liquid already) Can put jar in a pot of hot water.
Combine. Mix together in a large bowl the coconut oil, maple syrup, cocoa powder and vanilla extract. Stir to combine.
Add. Rolled oats and salt to the large bowl. Mix it all together until the rolled oats are completely covered.
Spread. All the rolled oats mixture out evenly, onto a non-stick or lined baking sheet.
Get bakin'! Place the sheet in the oven and bake for about 15-20 minutes (keep an eye on it, if your oven runs hot)
Sweeeeten. When semi-cooled add half the chocolate chips and mix, add the over half when fully cooled, and mix.
Serve. In a bowl with your favourite milk or topped on a smoothie.
(Added Extras?! You can mix up the recipe further like I love to do, by adding ~¼ cup of each coconut flakes and freeze dried strawberries/raspberries... Or add fresh seasonal fruits! YUM!)
Notes from Nat: This is great as a naughty breakfast, a dessert, treat or topping on a smoothie!
