Main

1.Combine oats, spelt flakes, triticale, rye flakes, almonds, puffed grains, sesame seeds and spices in a large bowl and set aside.

2.Preheat oven to 180C. Warm maple syrup and rice syrup in a saucepan over low heat, add oil, pour over oat mixture and stir to coat. Spread on oven trays lined with baking paper and bake, stirring occasionally, until crisp and golden (15-20 minutes). Cool on trays. Granola will keep in an airtight container for 2 weeks.

3.To serve, combine pineapple, banana and passionfruit in a bowl, toss gently to combine and serve with spiced five-grain granola, Jersey milk and thick yoghurt.

Note Spelt flakes, triticale and rye flakes are all available from select health-food shops. If they’re unavailable, substitute extra rolled oats. Jersey milk has a high fat content. It’s available from select farmers’ markets and delicatessens.
