Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup raw almonds
- 1 cup raw cashews
- 1 cup pecan halves
- 0.5 cup dried cranberries
- 0.5 cup dried apricots, chopped
- 0.5 cup pumpkin seeds (pepitas)
- 0.25 cup unsweetened coconut flakes
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- 1 tablespoon olive oil (or coconut oil, melted)
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon ground ginger
- 0.25 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 325°F (165°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the almonds, cashews, pecan halves, pumpkin seeds, and coconut flakes.
In a small bowl, whisk together the maple syrup, olive oil, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and salt until well combined.
Pour the maple syrup mixture over the nut and seed mixture. Toss until all the ingredients are evenly coated.
Spread the mixture out in an even layer on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake for 12-15 minutes, stirring halfway through to ensure even toasting. Keep a close eye on it to prevent burning.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the mixture cool completely on the pan. The trail mix will crisp up as it cools.
Once the mix is cool, stir in the dried cranberries and chopped dried apricots.
Store the Cinnamon Spice Trail Mix in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.
