Ingredients
- 2 cups raw cashews
- 1 cup pure maple syrup
- 3 tablespoons coconut oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a medium saucepan, combine the maple syrup and coconut oil. Heat over medium heat, stirring occasionally until the coconut oil is fully melted and the mixture starts to gently bubble.
Step 3
Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract, sea salt, and ground cinnamon until well combined.
Step 4
Add the raw cashews to the saucepan and stir until the cashews are fully coated with the syrup mixture.
Step 5
Spread the cashew mixture evenly onto the prepared baking sheet, ensuring that the cashews are in a single layer to promote even baking.
Step 6
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, stirring halfway through to ensure even toasting and coating, until the cashews are golden brown. Watch closely to prevent burning.
Step 7
Remove from the oven and let the mixture cool on the baking sheet for about 10 minutes. As it cools, it will become firm and crunchy.
Step 8
Once fully cooled and hardened, break the cashews into clusters of your desired size.
Step 9
Store the cashew clusters in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two weeks.
