This is such a welcome idea for a crunchy addition to salad or soup. A salty, spicy, herb-y twist to a homemade granola. Incredibly easy and truly delicious! More fun than a crouton.

Be creative and add combos you think will be good together. Really anything goes!

Heat oven to 325F.
You need 2 egg whites for 1 to 1.5 cups of oats.

Here is one that turned out great.

Combine all together in a bowl:
1 to 1.5 cups of oats
Mixed seeds (we get them from Bulk Barn ) so any variation of sesame seeds, flax, pumpkin seeds, buckwheat groats, sunflower seeds, chia seeds etc. Really anything you like works.
Add dried rosemary, any dried herb you love works.
Add coarse salt, coarse pepper, paprika, garlic salt, onion salt.
Fennel seeds (what a great addition for a super flavour)
Various peppers work really well, we added some Aleppo pepper.

Cayenne or chili pepper would be good too.
Cumin seeds and coriander seeds would be great too for that type of Middle Eastern slant.

I think you can really theme this crumble with any flavour profile you want.

Add in the egg whites and a bit of olive oil to coat the mixture. We also added a bit of maple syrup for a little sweet hit. Honey or brown sugar is probably just as good.

On parchment paper or foil, spread out this mixture on a flat pan/cookie sheet and bake for about 40-50 minutes.

Once cooled, crumble in pieces that can be stored in a zip lock or jar, and will last a long while.

I'm addicted to this crunchy treat!!
