My lovely business partner (and daughter-in-law) adores this particular snack combination. Trail mix is the perfect (and undetectable!) travel treat, and perfumed with exotic spices, there’s neither a taste or aroma of our favorite herb. Do your own thing here—you can change spices, cereal or anything else. Just keep it sweet, salty and full of love!
Ingredients:
Yields about 10 servings
2-4 tablespoons infused coconut oil
2 tablespoons honey, agave or maple syrup
2 teaspoons ground cumin
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon turmeric
½ teaspoon ginger
½ teaspoon cardamom
¼ teaspoon cayenne
2 cups Oh’s or Cheerios cereal
1 ¼ cup pecans
1 cup almonds
1 cup pretzels, any shape you like
1 cup flaked coconut
½ cup dried sour cherries
½ cup chocolate chunks
Instructions:
- Heat oven to 325°F. Place parchment on a baking sheet with sides.
- In a large bowl combine the oil, sweetener, cumin, salt, turmeric, ginger, cardamom and cayenne. Mix well.
- Add the cereal, pecans, almonds, pretzels and coconut. Mix well to evenly distribute the oil mixture.
- Place the trail mix on the baking sheet and bake for 15 to 20 minutes, stirring several times.
- Allow the mixture to cool at least 30 minutes. Add the cherries and chocolate and hit the road!
