Ingredients

• 1 cup raw almonds
• 1 cup raw cashews
• 1 cup raw pecans
• 1/2 cup dried cranberries
• 1/2 cup dried apricots, chopped
• 1/4 cup pumpkin seeds
• 2 tablespoons maple syrup
• 1 tablespoon coconut oil, melted
• 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
• 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a large bowl, combine almonds, cashews, pecans, and pumpkin seeds.
3. In a small bowl, whisk together maple syrup, coconut oil, salt, and cayenne (if using).
4. Pour the maple mixture over the nuts and seeds, and toss until evenly coated.
5. Spread the mixture in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
6. Bake for 12-15 minutes, stirring halfway through, until golden and fragrant.
7. Let cool completely on the baking sheet (the mixture will crisp as it cools).
8. Transfer to a large bowl and stir in dried cranberries and chopped apricots.
9. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.

Tips

• For a sweeter mix, add 1/4 cup dark chocolate chips after cooling.
• Swap dried fruits: use raisins, cherries, or chopped dates.
• If using salted nuts, reduce added salt to 1/4 teaspoon.
• Make it spicy: increase cayenne to 1/2 teaspoon or add smoked paprika.
