This is one of the most tasty, delicious treats and they’re so healthy. Packed with calcium and all the other minerals you’ll find in seeds it’s a brilliant snack, topping for yogurt, porridge and muesli.
They’re freefrom nearly all of the top 14 allergens and you could easily make this completely top 14 free if you substitute the soya sauce as I do and leave out the sesame seeds. If you are allergic to any of the seeds listed, I often add other seeds like linseeds, chia seeds or you could add any other seeds you like.
What you’ll need
- 1 cup of sesame seeds (leave out if you are allergic)
- 1 cup of pumpkin seeds
- 1 cup of sunflower seeds
- 1 cup of sultanas (you could use currants or raisins – no idea what the difference is…)
- 1 tablespoon of sunflower oil
- 1 tablespoon or soya sauce ( I substitute Coconut Aminos as I’m allergic to soya)
- 1 tablespoon of honey
How to make it
- Heat the oil in a large wok
- Add the seeds and toast until the pop, go golden and are gently toasted (3-5 minutes depending on how hot you have the heat. You don’t need it to be too hot of you’ll burn the seeds)
- Remove from the heat and add the honey, soya sauce and sultanas
- Mix together
- Enjoy!
It lasts for ages. I store it in the fridge.
This makes quite a lot but I love to have loads handy to last me a week or so.
