Ingredients
Method
- Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C). Grease a baking sheet and spread raw pumpkin seeds on it. Roast for 15 minutes to dry them out.
- Add pepitas, pistachios, flax seeds, maple syrup, coconut oil, vanilla extract, coffee grounds (start with 2 tbsp), salt, and cinnamon to the pan with the roasted pumpkin seeds.
- Toss thoroughly to coat everything evenly. Bake for 25-30 minutes, stirring 2-3 times, until seeds are golden.
- Remove from oven. Use a spatula to press the mixture into an even layer about 1/2 inch thick. Let cool completely until hardened. Break into clusters.
- Line a second baking sheet with wax paper. Melt desired chocolate (milk, dark, or semi-sweet).
- Dip the cooled clusters into the melted chocolate. Place on the prepared baking sheet. Optionally, sprinkle with extra coffee grounds and sea salt before the chocolate hardens.
- Chill in the fridge for 10 minutes to set the chocolate. Store in an airtight container in a cool, dry place for up to two weeks.
