Instructions

• Pre-heat oven to 160C (fan 140C).

• In a small saucepan, melt the coconut oil over a low heat and add the maple syrup and vanilla extra, stirring to combine.
• Pour the liquid mixture over the bowl of nuts and stir to thoroughly coat the mixture.
• Spread the mix evenly onto two large lined, baking sheets and bake for 30 minutes. Then add the orange zest, dried cranberries, raisins, prunes and pumpkin seeds and mix the baking mixture around on the tray to evenly distribute.

Notes:

Always buy unsweetened, organic dried fruit (non-organic contains sulphites which are an allergen and gut irritant).

Get creative with the ingredient combinations, swap the flaxseed for chia seeds or pumpkin or sunflower. You can add in oats or puffed quinoa too to make it go further.
