- Chop the raisins or cranberries so that they stick to the seeds better.

Rachna, this is one recipe I am going to try ASAP! Heading to the store tomorrow. Will pick up all the ingredients. Something I can munch on, guilt free! What’s not to love. Also, question, can I have this along with oats/cornflakes and cold milk as a cereal?

You can have a handful along with your breakfast. Sure, it is a power packed way of adding more nutrition to plain cornflakes or oats.
