- 150g regular oats
- 50g mixed nuts
- 25g pumpkin seeds
- 25g sunflower seeds
- 50g caster sugar
- 4 Tbsp sunflower oil

Method

- Leave the mixture to cool on the tray, then break it up into small chunks and stir in the sultanas and apricots.

- Tie the paper bag with string or a ribbon and add a fun label for Father Christmas to find.
