Oat‑pine nut crunchies: honey and maple syrup provide quick energy, while complex carbohydrates from rolled oats keep you full until lunch.

Ingredients

  • 75 g pine nuts (or almonds)
  • 250 g hearty rolled oats
  • 2 tsp Cinnamon
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 50 ml honey
  • 50 ml maple syrup
  • 2 tbsp Rapeseed oil
  • 50 g dried cherries

Instructions

  1. 1.

    Chop the pine nuts and combine them with the oats in a bowl. Add cinnamon and salt, then mix well.

  2. 2.

    Whisk together honey, maple syrup, and oil in a saucepan and bring to a gentle boil while stirring.

  3. 3.

    Carefully stir the oat mixture into the hot liquid with a wooden spoon.

  4. 4.

    Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and spread the oat mixture evenly across it.

  5. 5.

    Bake in a preheated oven at 125 °C (fan: 110 °C, gas: level 1‑2) for about 1 ¼ hours, turning gently 2–3 times during baking.
