Chocolate Muesli with Candied Orange

🧂 Ingredients

• 3 cups old-fashioned oats

  avoid instant or quick-cooking oats
• 1½ tablespoon chia seeds
• 2 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder
• ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
• ¾ cup sliced almonds
• ⅓ cup unsweetened coconut flakes
• ¼ cup bittersweet or dark chocolate (at least 70% cocoa), chopped
• ½ cup Paradise candied orange peel (Holiday Fruit)

Instructions

• 1 Preheat the oven to 350℉. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
• 2 In a medium bowl, add the oats, chia seeds, cocoa powder, and cinnamon. Toss to
  coat. Spread the mixture on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 5-6 minutes.
• 3 After 5-6 minutes, remove the baking sheet from the oven, add the almonds,
  chocolate, and coconut on top, and bake for another 5-7 minutes, watching
  carefully so the coconut doesn't burn. You want everything to be lightly toasted
  and fragrant.
• 4 Remove from the oven, return the cooked muesli mixture to a bowl, and stir. The
  chocolate will be slightly melted and start to coat the oats. Allow the oat
  mixture to cool for 5-10 minutes. After 5-10 minutes, add the candied orange and
  stir to evenly distribute. See notes for serving suggestions.
