Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Unsalted cashews
- 0.5 cup Honey
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons Coconut oil
- 0.25 teaspoon Cinnamon
- 0.125 teaspoon Sea salt (optional)
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a medium saucepan, combine the honey and coconut oil over medium heat. Stir until the mixture is smooth and begins to bubble slightly.
Remove the saucepan from heat and add the vanilla extract, gently stirring to combine the ingredients.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the unsalted cashews, cinnamon, and sea salt if using. Pour the honey mixture over the cashews and stir well, ensuring that the nuts are thoroughly coated.
Spread the coated cashews in an even layer on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the cashews are 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 them into desired-sized clusters. Store in an airtight container for up to two weeks.
