Ingredients
- 1 cup Mixed nuts (almonds, cashews, pecans, etc.)
- 0.5 cup Mixed seeds (pumpkin, sunflower, sesame>
- 0.5 cup Honey
- 2 tablespoons Coconut oil
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon Sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and lightly grease it with a bit of coconut oil.
Step 2
Chop the mixed nuts into smaller pieces, if desired, to help create a more uniform brittle texture.
Step 3
In a medium saucepan over low heat, combine honey and coconut oil. Stir continuously until the coconut oil is fully melted and the mixture begins to bubble slightly.
Step 4
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract, sea salt, and ground cinnamon, mixing until fully combined.
Step 5
In a large mixing bowl, combine the mixed nuts and mixed seeds. Pour the honey mixture over the nuts and seeds and mix well until everything is thoroughly coated.
Step 6
Spread the mixture evenly over the prepared baking sheet, using a spatula to press down and compact the ingredients into a uniform thickness throughout the pan.
Step 7
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the brittle is golden brown and bubbly. Keep a close eye to prevent burning.
Step 8
Remove from the oven and let the brittle cool completely on the baking sheet. This will take around 30 minutes and is crucial for setting.
Step 9
Once completely cooled and hardened, break the brittle into pieces and store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two weeks.
