Healthy topping for soups and salads, giving a great crunch that's bursting with savoury Italian flavours like fragrant oregano and decadent sundried tomatoes.
Ingredients
2 cups GF oats
1 cup buckwheat groats
½ cup pine nuts
2½ tbsp. dried oregano
2 tbsp. nutritional yeast flakes
1 tbsp. smoked paprika
1 tbsp. garlic powder
1 tsp sea salt and black pepper
½ cup olive oil
1 tbsp. balsamic vinegar
1½ tbsp. maple syrup
1 tbsp. Dijon mustard
1 tsp truffle oil (optional)
¼ cup sundried tomatoes, chopped
Instructions
Pre heat your oven to 180C/350F/Gas mark 4 and line one baking sheet
Place the oats, buckwheat groats, pine nuts, dried oregano, nutritional yeast, paprika, garlic powder salt and pepper in a large bowl and mix together well.
In a small bowl whisk together the olive oil, balsamic, maple syrup, mustard and truffle oil. Pour this into the oat mixture and fold together until fully incorporate.
Spread over the baking sheet - try not to layer the oat mixture too much. Place in the oven and cook for 15 minutes.
Remove and gently toss in your sundried tomatoes. Let cook for another 7-8 minutes, or until golden brown.
Remove from the oven and let cool on a wire rack for at least 30 minutes until pouring into an air tight box or jar.
