- Seeds and berries are a good source of potassium, and healthy fats like PUFA and MUFA, which may help manage blood cholesterol and also helps in maintain blood pressure levels.
DIRECTIONS
- Dry roast the quick oats in a pan on lowered flame.
- Now add seeds and berries mix to the pan and dry roast them as well.
- Now take a bowl and add peanut butter, cold-pressed coconut oil, and jaggery powder, and mix well.
- Now mix the bowl mixture with dry roasted oats and seeds and berries mix.
- Now add chopped dried coconut to it.
- After mixing the wet and dry ingredients, you can either microwave for 30-45 seconds or bake for 3-5 minutes at 160 degrees, so that the moisture is absorbed by the oats and they retain the crunch and crispiness.
- Add any seasonal fruit of choice but only when the temperature is cooled down.
- It can be consumed as it is or with plant milk as per your choice.
