50g / ½ cup dessicated coconut

Method

Line an 18cm x 28cm tray with baking paper.

Place Seedy Morning Muesli, coconut, coconut milk powder, sweet rice flour, cranberries, pineapple and apricot in a mixing bowl and combine.

In a small heavy based saucepan put rice malt syrup and coconut oil. Heat on low and stir until the oil melts, then let it come to a simmer for about 2 minutes. Using a spatula to scrape the base and sides of the saucepan clean, pour the hot mix into the dry ingredients. Stir really well to thoroughly coat everything.

Tip into the prepared tray, spread evenly, then press down hard to compact the mix. Put in the fridge to set, then cut into pieces and store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a month. Best eaten when left to sit at room temp for 30 minutes.
