INGREDIENTS:

 
  • 130g Zusto Sugar Supplement
  • 50g Vegan Honey
  • 30g Itac Pistachios
  • 30g Itac Walnuts
  • 450g Jumbo Gluten-Free Oats
  • 40g Itac Pumpkin Seeds
  • 20g Chia Seeds

METHOD


  • In a large, heavy-based saucepan, heat the Zusto sugar supplement to make a direct caramel. Once a light golden caramel is achieved, add the vegan honey, and bring it to a gentle boil.
  • Blitz the Itac pistachios and walnuts to a coarse texture.
  • Add the blitzed pistachios and walnuts, jumbo gluten-free oats, pumpkin seeds, and chia seeds to the pan. Mix everything together thoroughly.
  • Allow the mixture to heat through, then stir again. Repeat this process of pausing and stirring for about 10-15 minutes, until the honey and caramel have evenly coated the oats, nuts, and seeds.
  • Remove the mixture from the pan and spread it into lined shallow trays.
  • Bake in a preheated oven at 150°C (300°F) for 20 minutes, or until toasted and golden.
  • Remove from the oven and allow to cool at room temperature.
  • Store the mixture in an airtight container.
