Preheat a convection oven to 130°C (approximately 265°F). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.

Healthy, because
Comes like a crunchy cereal, but is much healthier! It is based on oat and spelt flakes, which score points for their satiating fibre and are rich in B vitamins. Rich crystal sugar is provided by natural maple syrup for a mild sweetness. And last but not least, sunflower seeds and walnuts bring healthy unsaturated fatty acids to the glass.
Even smarter
Culinary creativity is desired: how about sesame seeds, pumpkin seeds, pistachios, cocoa nibs, tigernuts or pecans, and as a fruity component, everything from cubes of apricots, dates or figs to blackcurrants. The main thing is that the dried fruit is only added after baking.
