Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup raw mixed nuts (almonds, walnuts, pecans)
- 1/2 cup chia seeds or flaxseeds
- 1/2 cup unsweetened dried fruits (cranberries, raisins)
- 1/2 cup unsweetened coconut flakes
Sweetener
- 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Set your oven temperature to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for baking the cereal mixture.
- Mix dry ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the raw mixed nuts, chia or flaxseeds, unsweetened dried fruits, and unsweetened coconut flakes, stirring until all ingredients are evenly distributed.
- Add sweetener: Drizzle the honey or maple syrup over the combined mixture, then toss thoroughly to ensure each component is lightly coated with the sweetener.
- Bake the mixture: Spread the coated mixture evenly on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and place it in the preheated oven. Bake for 15-20 minutes until the mixture turns golden brown and fragrant.
- Cool and serve: Once baked, remove from the oven and let the cereal cool completely on the baking sheet. This helps the mixture crisp up. Serve with almond milk or your choice of yogurt for a satisfying breakfast.
Notes
- Use parchment paper on the baking sheet to prevent sticking and allow easy cleanup.
- Stir the mixture halfway through baking to ensure even toasting and prevent burning.
- Store any leftover cereal in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two weeks.
- You can customize the nuts and dried fruits to your preferences while keeping it paleo compliant.
- For a vegan option, use maple syrup instead of honey.
