Heat a pan and dry roast oats, white sesame seeds, flax seeds, poppy seeds (if using) separately one after the other, over low flame, taking care not to burn them.

After dry roasting, transfer each one of them to a plate to let them cool down.

Once cooled, transfer to a mixie jar, add peanuts, almonds, hemp seeds, sunflower and pumpkin seeds.

Pulse at regular intervals for all the ingredients to break down evenly and mix together.

Grind to a coarse powder stopping the mixie unit at regular intervals to prevent the heat from the machine to get transferred to the powder.

This is to make sure that they do not start releasing their oil and form into a lump.

Once ground to a coarse powder, finally add desiccated coconut, chia seeds and pulse 2 to 3 times to get it evenly distributed.

Take the jar out and let it cool down.

Transfer the powder to an air tight container.

Store it in the refrigerator to preserve its freshness and use as required.
