¼ cup + ¼ cup unsweetened coconut flakes or shreds
1 Tablespoon Valrhona cocoa powder
½ teaspoon cardamom
½ teaspoon cinnamon
½ teaspoon sea salt
¼ cup brown sugar
¼ cup nuts (I like pecans for this! Almost any will do!)
¼ cup coconut oil
½ cup honey
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Method
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside. In a large bowl, mix oats, ¼ cup coconut flakes/shreds, cocoa powder, spices, brown sugar and nuts.
In a smaller bowl, add coconut oil and microwave for a few seconds to melt. Whisk in honey and vanilla.
Incorporate into the oat mixture and spread onto parchment-lined baking sheet.
Bake for about 10 minutes, then use a spatula to mix it around carefully to get a more even baking. Put in oven for about 10 more minutes. Remove and add in the remaining ¼ cup coconut flakes/shreds. Enjoy!
