Ingredients
400g porridge oats
100g desiccated coconut
30ml honey
90ml olive oil
2 tsp treacle
20g light brown sugar
1 tsp sea salt
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1 tsp ground cardamom
75g dried apricots, chopped
50g golden raisins
150g hazelnuts, roasted and roughly chopped
100g pumpkin seeds
Method
Mix the honey, treacle and olive oil. Stir in the salt and sugar until they dissolve.
Add liquid mixture to mixed oats and coconut, stirring as you do. The mixture might feel a little dry but you just need a very light coating.
Spread on to one or two baking trays and leave to dry in a warm oven at 160°C for about an hour.
Stir the top layer every 15 minutes or so, breaking up larger chunks as you do.
Bake until all of the oats are golden.
Once the oat mixture is cool stir in the other fruits, nuts and seeds.
