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

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 325F
  • 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.
  • Pour nuts into bowl, add in chia seeds, oil, vanilla, and honey. Stir till combined.
  • 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.
  • Bake in oven for 22-26 minutes or until golden brown.
  • LET COOL COMPLETELY - this is the most important step! It will be too soft at first.
  • Break into clusters once completely cooled. Store at room temperature.
