  • 1 tsp real vanilla extract
  • 2 and 1/2 tsp culinary grade matcha
Preparation
1.

Preheat oven to 180℃.

Line a baking tray with parchment paper and layer it with oats, chia, and sesame seeds.

 

3.

Roast the mixture on the top shelf for 10 minutes. Place the roasted mix in a large bowl and stir in cranberries. Set aside.

Then blend the bananas, coconut oil, flax meal, vanilla extract and matcha until smooth. Combine both mixtures until well-incorporated.
