Seed and nut mix recipe

Sometimes it’s nice to have a ready-to-use topping that you can sprinkle on your oats in the morning. You can make this seed and nut mix recipe one ahead of time, and if you store it in an airtight container it can keep for a week.

Ingredients

50g sunflower seeds

50g pumpkin seeds

50g sesame seeds

50g mixed nuts

100g dried apricots

27g sachet Quaker Oats So Simple Original

Method

Preheat the oven to 200°C and spread the nuts and seeds evenly on a baking sheet. For the best roasting results, spread to form a single layer.

Roast in the oven for around 10 minutes, or until the mix is a golden brown. Allow to cool before transferring the mix to an airtight container (a clean jam jar is perfect for this).

Thinly slice the apricots and add these to the jar or container. Shake briefly and your mix is ready to use. Prepare the sachet of Quaker Oats So Simple Original, following the directions on the pack. Creating variations is easy by using almond milk one day and soy milk the next, for example. Sprinkle your mix and fresh fruit on top of the porridge if you like for a quick and delicious breakfast.
