This amazingly simple and delicious recipe is easy and if you put it in a nice jar then it makes a very lovely homemade gift. You can use maple syrup instead of honey but my personal favourite is honey. Eat with milk or yogurt and a drizzle of honey on top!
Ingredients:
- 500g rolled oats
- 100g flaked almonds
- 100g sunflower seeds
- 100g dessicated coconut
- 100g pumpkin seeds
- 100g pecan halves
- 150mls honey
- 150mls rapeseed oil (veg oil)
- 200-300g any dried fruit
- Pinch salt
- 1 tsp vanilla essence
Gently heat the oil and honey (or maple syrup) in a pan with a drop of vanilla essence (if you wish) and a pinch of salt. Meanwhile put all the dry ingredients in a large mixing bowl. Pour the warmed liquid over the mixture and stir well.
Spread the mixture out between 2 roasting tins and cook at 160 oC for 40 minutes. It needs to be turned AT LEAST every 20 minutes and possibly more so the colour is even. You are aiming for a nice light brown all through. My oven is not very good and cooks unevenly and so I do check it very regularly but you might not need to.
Leave the mixture to cool completely and then add 200-300g of any dried fruit (I like sultanas). Then you're ready to serve or put in your jars!
