Description

These healthy pumpkin spiced nuts are made with a mixture of nuts and seeds, lightly sweetened with maple syrup and flavored with pumpkin spice.  This recipe is paleo, gluten free, refined sugar free and vegan.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup walnuts
  • 1/2 cup pecans
  • 1/2 cup sliced almonds
  • 1/3 cup pumpkin seeds
  • 1/3 cup sunflower seeds
  • 1/3 cup dried cranberries
  • 2 Tbsp maple syrup
  • 1 Tbsp melted coconut oil
  • 1 tsp pumpkin spice
  • 1 tsp flaked salt

Instructions

  1. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper, set aside.
  2. Combine all ingredients except the flaked salt in a large frying pan.
  3. Place the pan on your stovetop and cook over medium heat for 15 minutes, stirring every few minutes.  Be sure to watch the nuts closely after 10 minutes to make sure they don't burn.
  4. Turn off the stovetop and carefully transfer the nuts to your lined baking sheet.  Spread them out, then top them with flaked salt and sprinkle on additional pumpkin spice before the nuts cool.
  5. Once cooled to room temp, store the nuts in an airtight glass jar or container.  They can be stored at room temperature, but keep best in the fridge for up to two months.

Notes

Feel free to mix and match the nuts/seeds you use.  I recommend raw nuts and seeds.
