Ingredients

  • 3 mugs of oats (about 350g)
  • 6 tbsp desiccated coconut
  • 5 tbsp sesame seeds
  • 5 tbsp mixed seeds (e.g. sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds)
  • 4 tbsp mixed, chopped nuts (e.g. almonds and hazelnuts)

  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 6 tbsp dried fruit (e.g. raisins, sultanas, dried cranberries)

Method

  1. Turn the oven to 150C/130C fan. Measure the oats and put into a big bowl. Measure the desiccated coconut and add to the oats.
  2. Add the sesame seeds and the mixed seeds to the bowl. Then add the chopped nuts. With a big spoon stir all these ingredients to mix together.

More about maple

The colour and flavour of maple syrup changes in subtle ways during the seasonal harvest

At the start of the sugaring season, the syrup is generally clear, with a light, sweet taste. It becomes darker with a caramelised flavour as the season progresses throughout the spring.

An unopened can of maple syrup keeps for many years

Once the can is opened, syrup should be kept in an airtight container in a cool place.

Maple spread doesn't contain any butter or dairy products

Like all 100% pure maple products, maple spread comes from the sap of the maple tree — that’s all.
