Delicious nutty, sweet, and the snack you’ll keep grabbing from the fridge recipe with detailed instructions and nutritional information.

  • Total Time: 35 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup mixed nuts (almonds, walnuts, pecans)
  • 1/2 cup dried cranberries
  • 1/4 cup pumpkin seeds (pepitas)
  • 1/4 cup shredded coconut (unsweetened)
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup
  • 1 tablespoon coconut oil, melted
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon sea salt

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Step 2: In a large bowl, combine the mixed nuts, dried cranberries, pumpkin seeds, and shredded coconut.
  3. Step 3: In a separate small bowl, whisk together the melted coconut oil, maple syrup, cinnamon, and sea salt.
  4. Step 4: Pour the wet ingredients over the dry ingredients and stir well to ensure everything is evenly coated.
  5. Step 5: Spread the mixture in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
  6. Step 6: Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until lightly toasted and fragrant. Let cool completely on the baking sheet before breaking into clusters and storing in an airtight container in the fridge.

Notes

  • Store in the fridge to maintain a delightfully chewy texture and extend its freshness for up to two weeks.
  • If you prefer a softer snack, microwave individual portions for 5-10 seconds to slightly warm the nuts and release their aromas.
  • Enjoy this snack straight from the fridge, sprinkled over yogurt, or as a crunchy topping for ice cream.
  • For an extra depth of flavor, toast the nuts and seeds in a dry skillet for a few minutes before mixing with the other ingredients.
