2. Meanwhile combine rolled oats, sunflower seeds, maple syrup and vanilla extract in a bowl and mix well. Heat remaining oil and cook this mixture, stirring constantly until lightly golden. Set aside to cool.
3. Combine the cooled oats mixture, macadamias and remaining ingredients in a bowl. Mix well and store in an airtight

Lyndey’s Note: Real maple syrup is a much superior product to imitation maple syrup.

*Note: Australian measurements 1 tablespoon = 20ml are used throughout.
