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 Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for baking your cereal mixture.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: Combine the raw mixed nuts, chia or flaxseeds, unsweetened coconut flakes, and dried fruits in a large bowl, ensuring they are evenly mixed.
- Add Sweetener: Drizzle the honey or maple syrup over the dry mixture and toss thoroughly so that all ingredients are lightly coated with the sweetener.
- Bake: Spread the mixture evenly on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven for 15 to 20 minutes until the mixture turns golden brown. Stir halfway through baking if desired for even toasting.
- Cool and Serve: Remove the baked cereal from the oven and allow it to cool completely to enhance its crunchiness. Serve with almond milk or yogurt for a satisfying Paleo breakfast.
Notes
- Choose your preferred seeds: chia seeds for a gelatinous texture or flaxseeds for a nuttier flavor.
- Ensure dried fruits are unsweetened to keep added sugars low.
- Store the cooled cereal in an airtight container to maintain freshness for up to 1 week.
- You can substitute nuts based on your preference or what you have available.
