Ingredients:
50g cereal of choice - I used Maple Sunrise
50g oats
1 scoop protein powder
2 tablespoons maple syrup

2 tablespoons nut butter of choice
Pinch of cinnamon
50g dates, chopped
30g pumpkin seeds
30g dark chocolate, chopped

Make them!
Mix together the cereal, oats, protein powder and cinnamon in a bowl. Whisk together the syrup, oil and nut butter then pour into the bowl and mix well - add 1-2 tablespoons of water so it comes together and a few clumps form.
Spread out the mixture on a lined baking tray and bake at 170C for 8 minutes. Scatter over the dates, pumpkin seeds and chocolate and continue baking for 5-6 more minutes - keep an eye on the cereal flakes to make sure not burning!
When removed the tray from the oven, give everything another stir then allow it to cool completely - the chocolate will set and clusters will form!
Transfer to a tub or kilner jar and serve with yogurt and fruit - or just as it is!

#IndulgingInnocently

I believe we should all enjoy food, whatever our preference, dietary or health choice.

I have a huge sweet tooth and love creating recipes but am conscious of how food affects my mood and health - which is where the #IndulgingInnocently concept comes in. Many of my recipes I made from wholesome ingredients while tasting and looking great (because that’s important too!), and are suitable for dairy-free, gluten-free, no refined sugar and vegan diets.

You CAN have your cake and eat it!
