Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Raw cashews
- 0.5 cup Pumpkin seeds
- 0.25 cup Chia seeds
- 0.25 cup Hemp seeds
- 0.5 cup Unsweetened shredded coconut
- 0.5 cup Maple syrup
- 1 scoop Vanilla protein powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Sea salt
- 2 tablespoons Coconut oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the raw cashews, pumpkin seeds, chia seeds, hemp seeds, and shredded coconut.
In a small saucepan over low heat, combine the maple syrup and coconut oil until melted and well mixed.
Remove the saucepan from heat, and stir in the vanilla protein powder and sea salt until fully dissolved and combined with the liquid mixture.
Pour the syrup mixture over the dry ingredients in the mixing bowl and stir well until all the nuts and seeds are well coated.
Spread the mixture evenly onto the prepared baking sheet, pressing down gently to form an even layer.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 15 minutes, or until golden brown, stirring halfway through to ensure even cooking.
Remove from the oven and let the cashew clusters cool completely on the baking sheet. They will harden as they cool.
Once cooled, break into clusters of desired size and store in an airtight container.
