Ingredients
Scale
- 1/4 cup Espresso Powder
- 1 cup Rolled Oats
- 1/2 cup Hazelnuts, chopped
- 1/4 cup Nut Butter (Almond or Peanut)
- 1/4 cup Maple Syrup
- 1/4 cup Coconut Flakes
- 2 tablespoons Chia Seeds
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, mix rolled oats, espresso powder, hazelnuts, chia seeds, and coconut flakes. Stir well to ensure an even distribution of flavors.
- In a separate bowl, blend the nut butter and maple syrup until smooth. Gradually fold this mixture into the dry ingredients.
