Ingredients
- 200g Jumbo Oats
- 150g Hazelnuts
- 2 tbsp. Raw Cacao Powder
- 3 tbsp. Maple Syrup
- 2 tbsp. Coconut Oil
- 1 tbsp. Almond Butter or Hazelnut Butter
- 1 tsp. Cinnamon

- 1 tsp. Vanilla Essence
- Pinch Sea Salt
Serve with
- 1 ripe Pear (cored & sliced)
- 1 tbsp. Maple
- 1 tsp. Mixed Spice

Method
- Preheat oven to 170°C
- Start by placing the hazelnuts on a roasting tray and bake for 12 minutes until they are browned and the skin is lifted.
- Using a tea towel rub off the hazelnut skins (or you could buy them pre roasted with skins removed).
- Divide the hazelnuts in half. In a pestle and mortar crush one half of the hazelnuts into small pieces and the other half roughly crush into halves for chunkier bits or leave whole.
- In a large mixing bowl add your oats, cacao powder and cinnamon.
- In a small saucepan melt the coconut oil, stir in the maple syrup, nut butter and vanilla essence.
- Pour over the oats and combine well.
- Toss over onto a lined baking tray and spread evenly, if you want it in clusters take sections and press them together. Add your dry ingredients to the mix.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes tossing half way through, until evenly toasted.
- Leave to cool for 10 minutes especially if you are making clusters.
Serve with Maple Spiced Pears & Porridge
- In a small frying pan over medium to high heat, add the coconut oil.
- Once melted add in the sliced pear stirring occasionally for 2-3 minutes, until wilted and lightly golden on both sides.
- Add the spices and maple and cook for a further minute.
