Ingredients

• 1 cup Old Fashioned Rolled Oats (100 g)
• 1 Tbsp Maple Syrup
• 2 Tbsp Neutral Oil (vegetable, canola, sunflower, grapeseed, etc.)
• 1 Egg White
• 2 tsp Dijon Mustard
• 1 tsp Vinegar (white wine, rice, or sherry vinegar are great)
• ½ tsp Salt
• 1 Tbsp Poppy Seeds
• 1 Tbsp Sesame Seeds (white, black, or a combination)
• 1 Tbsp Nigella Seeds
• 2 tsp Caraway Seeds
• 2 tsp dried Minced Garlic
• 1 tsp coarse ground Black Pepper

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 325°F and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
2. In a medium bowl combine maple syrup, oil, egg white, mustard, vinegar and salt. Whisk until well combined and slightly frothy.
3. Add oats, seeds, garlic and black pepper and mix until fully coated.
4. Spread out onto the baking sheet in an even layer and toast in the oven for 30–40 minutes, or until golden brown and fragrant. Stir every 5–10 minutes with a spoon or spatula to ensure it bakes evenly.
5. Allow to completely cool before using and store in a glass jar or an airtight container. The oat topping will keep for several weeks at room temperature.
