Ingredients
Scale
- 1 1/2 cup (140g) quick oats
- 1/2 cup (50g)wheat germ
- 1/2 cup (75g) packed dried apple finely diced
- 1/3 cup (50g) sunflower seeds
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 100g coconut oil in solid state

Instructions

- In a small saucepan melt coconut oil, honey and brown sugar together over a medium heat until combined, stirring while the sugar dissolves. This will take around two-three minutes.
