Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup raw almonds
- 1 cup raw cashews
- 0.5 cup unsweetened coconut flakes
- 0.5 cup pumpkin seeds (pepitas)
- 0.5 cup dried cranberries
- 3 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon chili powder
- 0.25 teaspoon sea salt
- 1 cup rolled oats
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the almonds, cashews, coconut flakes, pumpkin seeds, dried cranberries, and rolled oats.
In a small bowl, whisk together the honey (or maple syrup), olive oil, ground cinnamon, chili powder, and sea salt until well blended.
Pour the wet mixture over the dry ingredients and toss everything together until evenly coated.
Spread the mixture evenly on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, stirring halfway through to ensure even toasting.
Remove from the oven once the mixture is golden-brown and aromatic. Let it cool completely on the baking sheet; it will crisp up as it cools.
Once cooled, transfer your Hill Snack Chow to an airtight container or ziplock bag for storage. It will stay fresh at room temperature for up to 1 week.
