Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven. Heat to 160°C (320°F) and line a baking tray with parchment.
  2. Combine dry ingredients. Mix the spelt flakes, oats, nuts, seeds, cinnamon, and salt in a bowl.
  3. Mix the wet ingredients. Stir the honey, melted coconut oil, and vanilla together.
  4. Coat the mix. Pour the wet mixture over the dry ingredients and stir until the flakes are fully coated.
  5. Shape clusters. Press the mix onto the tray in small clumps. Leave some space between them.
  6. Bake. Bake for 20 minutes, turning once halfway through for an even colour.
  7. Cool completely. Let the clusters cool on the tray for 15 minutes to firm up.
  8. Store. Transfer to an airtight jar once fully cooled.

Note

Additional Notes

Avoid stirring too much while baking so the clusters stay intact. Letting the mix cool fully helps the honey and oil bind the flakes.

Optional Substitutions or Variations

  • Swap honey for maple syrup for a vegan version.
  • Replace mixed nuts with walnuts, almonds, or pecans.
  • Add raisins or dried cranberries after baking.

Storage

Store in a sealed jar for up to two weeks. For extra crunch, toast briefly before serving.

Tips & Variations

Keep the Clusters Firm

Press the mixture firmly onto the tray before baking. A tight pack creates larger clusters, while a loose spread gives smaller crumbs.

Add More Flavour

Mix in orange zest, cocoa nibs, or a few chopped dates after baking. These give depth without changing the texture.

Frequently Asked Questions

Expand All:

Can I use whole spelt grains instead of flakes?

No, whole grains are too hard. Use spelt flakes for the correct texture.

Can I reduce the sweetness?

Yes. Cut the honey by one tablespoon, but keep enough to bind the clusters.

Do the clusters stay crisp in humid weather?

Store them with a small silica packet or add a teaspoon of extra coconut oil for better crunch.

Can I bake them at a higher temperature?

Lower heat works best to stop the honey from burning.

Are these good for lunchboxes?

Yes, the clusters stay firm and don’t crumble easily once cooled.
