Ingredients

• 1 cup Raw almonds
• 1 cup Raw cashews
• 1 cup Raw walnuts
• 0.5 cup Pumpkin seeds (pepitas)
• 0.5 cup Unsweetened dried cranberries
• 0.5 cup Unsweetened coconut flakes
• 1 teaspoon Cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoon Cayenne pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 0.5 teaspoon Vanilla extract

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the raw almonds, cashews, walnuts, and pumpkin seeds.

Step 3

In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, vanilla extract, cinnamon, cayenne pepper, paprika, and salt until well combined.

Step 4

Pour the spice mixture over the nuts and seeds in the large bowl. Mix thoroughly to ensure all pieces are coated evenly.

Step 5

Spread the seasoned nut and seed mixture evenly on the prepared baking sheet.

Step 6

Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, stirring once halfway through baking, until the mixture is golden and fragrant.

Step 7

Remove from the oven and let the mixture cool completely on the baking sheet. The trail mix will crisp up as it cools.

Step 8

Once cooled, stir in the unsweetened dried cranberries and coconut flakes.

Step 9

Transfer the trail mix to an airtight container for storage. It will stay fresh for up to 2 weeks in a cool, dry place.
