Ingredients
  

Any combination of nuts + seeds will work! Just make sure it totals ~3 cups. I used:
  • 1 cup cashews unsalted
  • 1 cup almonds unsalted
  • ½ cup pecans unsalted
  • ¼ cup sunflower seeds unsalted
  • ½ cup coconut flakes
  • 2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 3 tablespoon chia seeds
  • ¼ cup coconut oil
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • ½ cup honey

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 325F
  2. In a food processor, blend all nuts + seeds, coconut flakes, cinnamon, and salt until fine (about 3-5 seconds). Nuts will be very small pieces but not powder.
  3. Pour nuts into bowl, add in chia seeds, oil, vanilla, and honey. Stir till combined.
  4. Place on parchment lined baking sheet, and press down flat until about half inch thick. Everything should be tightly packed in order to get big clusters.
  5. Bake in oven for 22-26 minutes or until golden brown.
  6. LET COOL COMPLETELY - this is the most important step! It will be too soft at first.
  7. Break into clusters once completely cooled. Store at room temperature.
