Chef's Note

For the best flavor development, toast the nuts and seeds before mixing with the dried fruits. This enhances their natural oils and creates a more complex flavor profile. You can customize this trail mix by substituting your favorite nuts or dried fruits, just be mindful of how it might affect the nutritional values. Store in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks.

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup walnuts

  • 1/3 cup almonds

  • 1/3 cup pecans

  • 1/4 cup pumpkin seeds

  • 1/4 cup dried cranberries

  • 1/4 cup dried apricots, chopped

  • 1/4 cup dried cherries

  • 3 tablespoons dried blueberries

  • 1/4 cup dried banana chips

  • 1/4 cup dried mango, diced

  • 2 tablespoons honey

  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup

  • 1 tablespoon coconut oil

  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon

  • 1/4 teaspoon sea salt

  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

  • 1/2 cup rolled oats

  • 1/4 cup unsweetened coconut flakes

Instructions
  • 1

    Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

  • 2

    In a large bowl, combine 1/2 cup walnuts, 1/3 cup almonds, 1/3 cup pecans, 1/4 cup pumpkin seeds, and 1/2 cup rolled oats.

  • 3

    In a small saucepan over low heat, melt 1 tablespoon coconut oil. Add 2 tablespoons honey, 1 tablespoon maple syrup, 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, and 1/4 teaspoon sea salt. Stir until well combined and remove from heat.

  • 4

    Pour the honey mixture over the nut and oat mixture and stir until everything is evenly coated.

  • 5

    Spread the mixture evenly on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 20 minutes, stirring halfway through to ensure even toasting.

  • 6

    Add 1/4 cup unsweetened coconut flakes to the baking sheet and continue baking for an additional 5-8 minutes until the coconut is lightly golden. Watch carefully to prevent burning.

  • 7

    Remove from the oven and let cool completely on the baking sheet for about 15-20 minutes. The mixture will crisp up as it cools.

  • 8

    Once cooled, transfer to a large mixing bowl and add 1/4 cup dried cranberries, 1/4 cup chopped dried apricots, 1/4 cup dried cherries, 3 tablespoons dried blueberries, 1/4 cup dried banana chips, and 1/4 cup diced dried mango.

  • 9

    Gently toss everything together until well mixed.

  • 10

    Divide the trail mix into two equal portions (about 1 1/2 cups each) and store in airtight containers.
