Preparing

Preheat oven to 160°C / 300°F.
Mix together 2 ½ cups rolled oats, 1 ½ cup protein crisps, ¼ cup pumpkin seeds, ¼ cup chia seeds, ¼ cup dried cranberries, until evenly distributed.

Notes

Note 1 - Protein Crisps

I used the soy protein crisps that look like little balls. If you don't have any, you could use extra oats instead or puffed cereal (you just won't have the added protein)

Note 2 - Pumpkin Seeds and Chia Seeds

Swap with any combination of nuts and/or seeds you enjoy.

Note 3 - Dried Cranberries

Swap with any dried fruit you enjoy.

Note 4 - Honey

Substitute with maple syrup or other liquid sweetener. If using a dry sweetener e.g. sugar, you may need to adjust quantities of nut butter and oil to allow it to combine together into clusters.

Note 5 - Olive Oil

Substitutions - other oil alternatives e.g. coconut, avocado, canola.

Serve with

Yogurt or milk and fresh fruit for a full breakfast

Storing
