Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 100 grams raw almonds
- 100 grams raw walnuts
- 50 grams raw pumpkin seeds
- 50 grams raw sunflower seeds
- 30 grams chia seeds
- 30 grams flaxseeds
- 30 grams unsweetened shredded coconut
- 60 ml extra virgin olive oil
- 50 grams erythritol or monk fruit sweetener
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the almonds, walnuts, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, chia seeds, flaxseeds, and shredded coconut.
In a small saucepan over low heat, combine the extra virgin olive oil, erythritol (or monk fruit sweetener), vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and salt. Stir until the sweetener is fully dissolved.
Pour the olive oil mixture over the nuts and seeds in the mixing bowl. Stir well to ensure all ingredients are coated and evenly mixed.
Spread the nut and seed mixture evenly over the lined baking sheet, pressing down slightly to form a cohesive layer.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown. Be sure to watch closely to prevent burning.
Remove from the oven and let the mixture cool completely on the baking sheet. The clusters will harden as they cool.
Once completely cooled, break the mixture into clusters of your desired size and store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two weeks.
