Servings: 2.5 cups

Prep Time: 10

Cook Time: 10

Total Time: 20

Ingredients

1/2 cup pecans (raw)
1/2 cup almonds (raw)
1 1/2 Tbsp olive oil or coconut oil
1 Tbsp maple syrup
1/4 tsp salt
1 cup cheddar crackers (such as Cheese-Its or Goldfish)
1/2 cup cheddar sesame sticks*
1/3 cup raisins or dried cranberries

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 325°F.
Add the pecans, almonds, oil, maple syrup, and salt to a bowl and mix well.
Spread the nuts in an even layer on a bare baking sheet (no parchment paper).
Bake for 10 minutes.
Remove from the oven, and immediately use a spatula to toss the nuts. Then, let them cool completely.
Once the nuts are completely cool, mix with the rest of the ingredients and store the trail mix in an airtight container. This trail mix is best if consumed within 2-3 days.

Notes

*I find the cheddar sesame sticks in the bulk section at my local grocery store. If you can't find them, you can just omit them from the recipe.
