Trail Mix

Trail Mix:

It’s a quick, easy, and nutritious snack. Purchased at the store trail mix can be rather expensive. This trail mix recipe will save your grocery bills by spending just a half an hour cooking.  It can also be used as a breakfast cereal, in a pinch.

Ingredients:

  • 1 ½ cups oats
  • ½ cup wheat germ
  • ½ cup raw nuts of your choice
  • ¼ cup sesame seeds
  • ¼ cup slivered or chopped raw almonds
  • ½ cup raisins
  • ½ cup coconut (shredded or chunks)
  • ¼ cup coconut oil
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • ¼ cup honey
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon

Trail Mix Directions:

  1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
  2. Mix first seven ingredients.
  3. Melt coconut oil and mix in vanilla, honey, and cinnamon.
  4. Pour oil mixture over dry ingredients and mix well.
  5. Spread evenly on oiled baking sheet.  Bake for 15-20  minutes, stirring 1-2 times.  Watch carefully as everyone’s oven heats differently and you don’t want it to burn.
  6. Cool.  Break up any lumps.  Store in airtight container.
