How to Make It
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup natural shelled pistachios, coarsely chopped
- 8 dried figs, diced
- 3 tbsp cocoa nibs
- 1/4 tsp fine sea salt
- 2 cups oat flakes
- 1 cup flaked coconut
- ¼ cup raw creamed honey
Instructions
- Line a baking sheet with parchment.
- Combine pistachios with figs, cocoa nibs and salt in a medium bowl.
- Heat a large non-stick frying pan over medium heat. Add oats and cook, stirring often, until nutty in scent and lightly toasted, 4 to 6 minutes. Transfer to a bowl with the pistachio mixture.
- Return the same pan to medium heat. Add coconut and cook, stirring often, until lightly toasted, 1 to 2 minutes. Transfer to the same bowl with pistachio mixture.
- Melt honey in the same pan over medium heat. Once foaming, add all ingredients from the bowl. Cook, stirring constantly, until mixture is coated and honey is mostly absorbed, about 2 minutes.
- Transfer to a prepared baking sheet, spreading in a thin, even layer. Let cool completely until crisp to the touch, 30 minutes. Crumble into pieces before serving.
