    Makes: 15 portions (about 45g per portion)

    Ingredients

    100g flame raisins
    250g jumbo oats
    100g whole skin-on almonds, roughly chopped
    50g pecans, roughly chopped
    25g pumpkin seeds
    25g chia seeds
    50g desiccated coconut
    4 tbsp coconut oil
    5 tbsp maple syrup
    1 tsp ground cinnamon
    ½ tsp vanilla bean paste
    ¾ tsp flaky sea salt

    TO SERVE
    natural yogurt, bananas and berries

    Method

    1. Preheat the oven to 170˚C, gas mark 3; line a large baking tray with parchment. Soak the raisins in a bowl of just-boiled water. In another bowl, mix together the oats, nuts, seeds and desiccated coconut.

    2. Heat the coconut oil, maple syrup, cinnamon, vanilla and 4 tbsp water in a small pan, until it comes to a simmer. Drain the raisins; add to the pan, then pour everything over the oat mixture. Sprinkle in the salt and stir well.

    3. Spread out in an even layer over the parchment. Bake for 15 minutes, then stir and continue to cook, stirring every 10 minutes until golden and fragrant – about 45 minutes in total. Set aside to cool completely. Store in an airtight jar for up to 4 weeks, and serve with yogurt and fruit.
