Ingredients

• 1 cup Raw almonds
• 1 cup Raw pecans
• 1 cup Raw walnuts
• 0.5 cup Raw sunflower seeds
• 0.5 cup Raw pumpkin seeds (pepitas)
• 0.5 cup Unsweetened coconut flakes
• 2 tablespoons Erythritol or monk fruit sweetener
• 1 teaspoon Cinnamon powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
• 0.25 teaspoon Chili powder
• 0.25 teaspoon Sea salt
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 0.5 teaspoon Vanilla extract

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the almonds, pecans, walnuts, sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, and coconut flakes.

Step 3

In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, vanilla extract, erythritol (or monk fruit sweetener), cinnamon powder, paprika, chili powder, and sea salt.

Step 4

Pour the spice and sweetener mixture over the nuts and seeds in the large bowl. Toss well to ensure everything is evenly coated.

Step 5

Spread the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet in an even layer.

Step 6

Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, stirring halfway through to prevent burning and ensure even toasting.

Step 7

Once the trail mix is golden and fragrant, remove it from the oven and let it cool completely on the baking sheet. The mix will crisp up as it cools.

Step 8

Once cooled, store the trail mix in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks. Enjoy as a low-carb snack anytime!
