Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup raw almonds (about 140g)
  • 1 cup raw cashews (about 130g)
  • ½ cup raw pumpkin seeds (pepitas) (about 60g)
  • ½ cup unsweetened dried cranberries (about 60g)
  • ½ cup dried mango pieces (about 55g)
  • ¼ cup sunflower seeds (about 35g)
  • ¼ cup dark chocolate chips (about 45g) – optional
  • ½ teaspoon sea salt
  • ¼ teaspoon cinnamon – optional

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy clean-up.
  2. Spread the almonds, cashews, pumpkin seeds, and sunflower seeds evenly onto the baking sheet.
  3. Roast in the oven for 10-12 minutes, stirring once halfway through to ensure even browning. Nuts should be golden and fragrant but not burnt.
  4. Remove the nuts and seeds from the oven and let them cool completely on the baking sheet.
  5. In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooled nuts and seeds with the dried cranberries, dried mango pieces, and dark chocolate chips if using.
  6. Add the sea salt and cinnamon to the bowl. Toss everything gently with a spatula or wooden spoon until evenly mixed. Taste and adjust salt if desired.
  7. Transfer the trail mix into an airtight container or snack bags. Store in a cool, dry place or refrigerate for longer freshness.

Notes

Watch nuts carefully while roasting to avoid burning. Let nuts cool completely before mixing with chocolate chips to prevent melting. Store in airtight container at room temperature for up to two weeks or refrigerate for longer freshness. Variations include swapping dried fruits seasonally or omitting chocolate for vegan/dairy-free option.
