Ingredients
* 150g porridge oats
* 100g pecans, roughly chopped
* 85g flaked almonds
* 35g coconut flakes (unsweetened)
* 40g pumpkin seeds
* 40g sunflower seeds
* ¼ tsp fine sea salt
* 3 tbsp maple syrup
* 3 tbsp light olive oil

You will need:
* Large roasting tin, lightly oiled with vegetable oil

Instructions

* Preheat and Mix: Heat the oven to 170°C/150°C fan/325°F/Gas 3. 
Place the oats, pecans, almonds, coconut flakes, and pumpkin and sunflower seeds in a mixing bowl and add the salt. Use your hands to combine.
