Hit the Trail Mix
Trail mix is the perfect snack for on-the-go adventures, or even for nibbling on at home. This version is delicious, simple, and even oil-free. Note that From Start to Finish is an estimate that assumes about 15 minutes for your trail mix to cool in step 4.
Ingredients
- ⅓ cup peanuts
- ⅓ cup walnuts - roughly chopped
- 1 cup cashews
- ¾ cup almonds
- ¼ cup pumpkin seeds
- 1 tablespoon pure maple syrup
- ¼ teaspoon smoked paprika
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- pinch of salt
- ¼ cup raisins
- ¼ cup dried cranberries
- Optional: 1 handful vegan chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees
- Toss all of the nuts and pumpkin seeds in a bowl. Add the maple syrup and mix until everything is coated well. Add the smoked paprika, garlic powder, and salt. Mix to combine.
- Spread the nut mixture out on a baking tray covered with a silicone mat or aluminum foil. Bake in your preheated oven for 8 minutes, then remove and stir the mixture around. Place back in the oven and continue cooking for another 8-10 minutes (depending on how "toasty" you want them). When you take them out they should be slightly golden brown and should no longer be very "sticky" from the maple syrup.
- Remove from oven and let cool completely. Once cool, mix in your raisins, dried cranberries, and optional chocolate chips.
- Enjoy!
