Fall Trail Mix - Paleo

This trail mix is to die for! And when you make it you will have the scent of cinnamon, nutmeg & pumpkin filling up your house. It's sooo good, and it has no oats or added sugar but a LOT of taste! It's great alone, or on top of yogurt, or how ever you want to eat it!







1 Cup almonds - crushed
1 Cup Walnuts - crushed
1 Cup Pecans- crushed
1 Cup Pumpkin Seeds
1 Cup salted sunflower seeds

2 tblsp. vanilla

Cinnamon

Nutmeg

1/4-1/3 Cup honey (or Aguave)

1 Cup Crasins

Preheat your oven to 400*. Line a cookie sheet with Parchment paper and add the top 5 ingredients to the cookie sheet and mix with hands until well combined. Spread out evenly on pan and dust the nuts evenly across with cinnamon & nutmeg. I would probably go a tad heavier on the cinnamon and a little lighter with the nutmeg. Drizzle the vanilla across the mixture then using your hands mix the nuts so they all get evenly coated from top to bottom, then once again spread out evenly across the pan. Stick in oven for 5 min. then take out and let cool a few minutes then drizzle honey evenly across the nuts and take a wooden spoon and stir it around and stick it back in the oven for 5 minutes. Take it out, add your craisins and try to keep your fingers out of it until it hardens up a bit! Sooooo good! If you really want it like nut clusters (which is how I love it, then put it back in the oven at about 240* and let it bake for about 40 minutes and then it is crunchy like trail mix. My Favorite!!
