• 50g quinoa flakes/rolled oats
• ¼ tsp of salt

Method:

1. Preheat your oven to 180C and line a baking tray with parchment
2. Roughly chop the nuts and seeds or pulse in a food processor so that you have smaller chunks.

4. Tip onto your baking sheet and spread out evenly using a spatula or palette knife.
