Ingredients
40
g
coconut oil
120
ml
honey
1/2-1.5
flaked salt
340
g
jumbo rolled oats or a mix of other grains
200
g
mixed nuts
roughly chopped (I used almonds, walnuts and pecans)
50
g
pumpkin seeds or seeds of your choice ( I used sesame
pumpkin, hemp and poppy)
50
g
coconut shavings (I had toasted shavings
which ended up double toasted and double crunchy)
1
egg white
80-100
g
dried fruit of your choice (I used sour cherries and white mulberries
you could also use apricots and dates if you like)
Instructions
Heat the oven to150C and line a baking tray with greaseproof paper.
Put the oil, honey and salt together in a small pan and heat gently until the oil has melted and all ingredients are well combined.
Take off the heat and allow to cool slightly.
Mix the dry ingredients, apart from the fruit, in a large bowl.
Add the slightly cooled honey and oil to the dry ingredients and mix well.
Beat the egg white in a separate bowl until soft peaks and add to the cereal bowl.
Spread out on the baking sheet and bake for about 30-35 minutes until golden.
Stir occasionally to ensure it cooks evenly.
Leave to cool in the tray then stir in the dried fruit.
Store in an airtight container and use to top plain yoghurt or just snack out of a small jar.
