Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups raw cashews
- 1/3 cup honey
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the coconut oil and honey together. Stir gently until fully melted and combined.
Remove the saucepan from heat and add the vanilla extract and sea salt. Stir until evenly mixed.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the raw cashews and the honey-coconut oil mixture. Stir until the cashews are thoroughly coated.
Spread the coated cashews evenly on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are in a single layer.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until golden and fragrant. Keep a close eye on them towards the end to prevent burning.
Remove from the oven and allow the cashew clusters to cool on the baking sheet for at least 10 minutes. They will harden as they cool.
Once fully cooled, break the clusters into bite-sized pieces. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week.
