Notes:

  • You can use this recipe to make a grain free granola or trail mix – Simply replace the oats with nuts and seeds of your choice.
  • If mixture is too dry – add a dash of olive oil, this will help make it crunchy and add some healthy monounsaturated fats.

 

Why it’s good for you:

  • Nuts are a fantastic source of monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats which are vital for healthy cholesterol levels, healthy mood and brain function.
  • Nuts and oats contain a variety of fibres that can support a healthy gut microbiome.
