Instructions
Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment (baking) paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the old-fashioned oats, almonds, cardamom powder, vanilla sugar, and salt.
3 cups rolled oats, 1 cup almonds, 1 teaspoon cardamom powder, ½ teaspoon salt, ½ teaspoon vanilla sugar
In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg white, olive oil, honey, and tahini until smooth using a small whisk or fork.
2 tablespoon olive oil, ⅓ cup honey, ⅓ cup tahini, 1 large egg white
Pour the tahini mixture over the oat mixture, stirring well to ensure even coating. Use a rubber spatula and perform the folding motion ensure every dry ingredient is moistened.
Dump the oat mixture onto the prepared baking sheet and spread it carefully with a spatula, creating an even layer. I like to press down and spread to a thin layer.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-30 minutes, remembering to give it a good stir at the halfway mark and again a bit later, ensuring that golden hue. Keep an eye on it, as it can easily go from baked to burnt.
Remove from the oven and let it cool completely on the baking sheet.
Once cooled, mix in dried fruit and nuts or any other tasty additions you like.
1 cup dried fruits
Transfer to an airtight container and store in room temperature for weeks! Serve with your favourite milk, yoghurt and chopped seasonal fruits.
