Method

1. 1

   Preheat the oven to 180°C fan / 400°F.

   
2. 2

   Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. Put the oats and buckwheat groats on the baking paper and toast in the oven for around 10 minutes – keep an eye out so they don’t burn. Remove from the oven and place to one side.

   
3. 3

   In a mixing bowl, whisk the tahini, maple syrup, vanilla extract, coconut oil, orange zest, 2 tablespoons of orange juice, mixed spice, cacao powder and salt. This will form a gloopyish mixture.

   
4. 4

   Add the oats and buckwheat to the mixing bowl, followed by the coconut flakes, sesame seeds and dried mulberries. Make sure everything is coated well.

   
5. 5

   Spread the mixture back on to the baking sheet.

   
6. 6

   Place in the oven and bake for 25 minutes or until a deep golden brown. Stir and flip halfway through – depending on your oven, this may take slightly more or slightly less time.

   
7. 7

   Once you’ve removed the tray from the oven, add the cacao nibs and stir. Allow to cool, then remove from the tray and transfer to a jar to store for up to 2 weeks.
