  • Put all the ingredients, except the coconut chips (flakes), into a bowl and mixwell. Transfer to an ovenproof dish and bake in the oven for 30 minutes, or until golden brown, checking on it every 5 minutes as it may need a stir to toast evenly.

  • Meanwhile, tip the coconut chips onto a baking sheet and toast in the same oven for 5 minutes, or until golden brown (they need a lot less cooking time than the oats, nuts and seeds). Remove from the oven and leave to cool.
