Prep Time 20 minutes
Cook Time 40 minutes
Total Time 1 hour
Servings 6

Ingredients

  • 2 cups old fashioned rolled oats
  • 1 cup old-fashioned rolled oat flour
  • 1 cup almond slivers
  • 1/2 cup pecans (roughly chopped)
  • 1/2 cup sunflower seeds
  • 1/2 cup pumpkin seeds
  • 1 tsp cake spice mix (mix of cinnamon, star anise powder, ground cloves, nutmeg, allspice and ground ginger)
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/2 cup butter (110g/1 stick)
  • 200 g piloncillo/panela/rapadura sugar (unrefined whole cane sugar)
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 1 cup raisins

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 300 F (150°C).
  • Add piloncillo/panela to a saucepan and add about 2 Tbsp of water and melt the sugar over low heat, stirring often (this takes at least 10 minutes). Once almost melted, add butter to melt, too.
  • Put 1 cup oats into a blender or small food processor and process until you have fine flour.
  • Add 2 cups whole oats and oat flour to a big bowl.
  • Add nuts, seeds, and spices.
  • Once sugar and butter are all melted, add vanilla and whisk until well combined.
  • Pour sugar/butter mixture over dry ingredients and mix well until all dry ingredients are wet.
  • Spread out on a large baking sheet lined with parchment paper (important!) and pop in the oven for 20 minutes.
  • Take out of the oven, add raisins and stir well. Return into the oven for another 20 minutes.
  • Take out and let cool down completely before touching, then break into big clusters.
  • Enjoy with yogurt or milk and fresh fruit.
