Ingredients

  • 1 large cup oats
  • 3 tablespoons dark-chocolate carob molasses (or plain carob molasses)
  • 1 handful chopped raw almonds
  • 1 handful chopped walnuts
  • 1 handful goji berries
  • 6–7 sun-dried apricots, chopped

Method

  1. Mix everything in a bowl and scatter loosely over a lined baking tray.
  2. Bake in a preheated oven at 150 °C for 10–12 minutes.
  3. Cool completely, break up by hand and store in a jar.

Why no honey? Baked at high heat, honey forms HMF (hydroxymethylfurfural), which is best avoided — molasses handles the oven far better.
