Hot tip!

🔥 Eat as a cereal, with fruit, sprinkled in a chia pot or by the handful...

🔥 Store what you don't eat in an airtight container. 

🔥 I take mine further than many would like, leaving it in for 25 minutes in total - note the very dark goji berries in the photo. 

🔥 The mixture may continue to cook on the bottom once it has been removed from the oven. Stirring the mixture every now and then as the mixture cools will prevent uneven browning
