What to do
-
-
Preheat the oven to 140°C (120°C fan-forced). Line 2 large baking trays with baking paper.
-
Place the oats, quinoa flakes, cashews, almonds, LSA or seeds in a large bowl and stir to combine. Add the cinnamon and ginger and mix well.
-
Combine the boiling water, maple syrup and vanilla in a heatproof jug and pour over the oat mixture, then stir to mix it through evenly; the oat mixture should be slightly damp but not wet.
-
Divide the oat mixture between the trays, spreading it out to form an even layer.
-
Bake for 35 minutes until fragrant and golden. Leave to cool on the trays, then stir through the cranberries. Store in an airtight container for up to 3 weeks. Scoop one serve into each of 4 bowls and top with one-quarter of the skim milk and pomegranate seeds.
