These are so delish as a breakfast topper, or as a crunchy, satisfying snack. Loaded with filling wholegrains and brain boosting energy these will surely become a staple. Make a big batch (double-quadruple the recipe) and store in an airtight jar to always have on hand. These also work great to mix in with muesli or to lift a standard breakky of oats/weetbix/corn flakes etc. These are a quick and wholesome alternative to sugar and oil-filled supermarket products.
Preparation Time: 5 minutes
Cooking Time: 15 minutes
Makes: 4 (quarter cup) servings
Ingredients
1/2 small, ripe banana
1/2 scoop banana protein powder
1.5 tbs maple syrup
1 tbs almond butter (or other nut butter)
1 tsp ground cinnamon
2.5 weet bix
1/4 cup quinoa flakes
Method
Preheat oven to 180 degrees fan-forced
Blend banana, protein powder, syrup, almond butter and cinnamon together
Crumble weetbix to rough consistency with hands. Mix quinoa and weetbix in bowl so evenly combined
Add "smoothie" to cereal and combine so all is evenly coated and soggy
Line a baking tray and portion out clusters evenly on tray. I used my hands to pinch them together into tight clusters.
Bake for 8 minutes. Remove from oven and turn clusters over.
Return to oven and cook for a further 5-8 minutes.
Allow to cool down on tray - this will help them turn crisp and hold their shape.
Serve with yoghurt and berries, or cereal and milk, or package in a container to take to work for a crunchy afternoon snack!
