Ingredients
- 1 450g packet of Kangaroo Island Rolled Oats
- 150ml buttermilk
- 30ml coconut oil
- 30ml Pure Origins honey
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1 tsp lemon myrtle
- 1 tsp cooking salt
- 1/4 cup crushed, roasted macadamias
- 30ml pomegranate mollasses
- 1/4 cup dried pineapple
- 2 tbsp pumpkin seeds

- 2 tbsp black chia seeds
- 1/4 cup sultans

Method
- Firstly in a large bowl, combine all the rolled oats, cinnamon, lemon myrtle and salt
- Melt the coconut oil and combine with buttermilk and honey
- Combine the buttermilk mixture and oat mixture and leave to soak for up to 12 hours
- Set oven (fan forced) at 150°C or 160°C
- Line an oven tray 36 x 26 x 2 with baking paper. Lay mixture onto tray as evenly as possible. Bake for about 20 minutes, remove from oven and break up mixture. Repeat this 2 – 3 times until mixture is lightly browning, about an hour. Cool.
- While oats are cooling, combine the leftover ingredients, except for the molasses, in a bowl and then add in the oats, breaking up the mixture as you go. Add in the molasses at the last minute and continue to stir as it cools.
- Serve with natural yogurt and dried fruit. Then drizzle with honey to flavour.
- Store in a dry, cool place for up to 3 months.
