Step 1
Preheat oven to 180°C. Line 2 baking trays with parchment paper.

Place the remaining ingredients in a saucepan over medium heat for 2-3 minutes. Whisk until the sugar dissolves and the ingredients are well combined. Pour over the nutty oats and toss through until the mixture is completely coated.
