Ingredients

Scale

½ cup roasted almonds
½ cup roasted pecans
¼ cup pumpkin seeds (pepitas)
¼ cup sunflower seeds
⅓ cup dried apple (chopped)
⅓ cup dried pumpkin cubes
1 tbsp melted coconut oil (optional)
1 tbsp maple syrup or keto sweetener
1 tsp ground cinnamon
Pinch of sea salt

Instructions

Preheat Oven to 300°F (150°C). Line a tray with parchment.
Mix the Base: In a large bowl, combine nuts and seeds. Toss with oil (if using), syrup, cinnamon, and salt until well coated.
Toast: Spread evenly on tray. Bake 8 mins, stir, then bake another 4–7 mins until golden. Cool completely.
Add Dried Fruit: Once cool, stir in dried apple and pumpkin.
Store in an airtight jar up to 2 weeks. (Longer if you hide it well!)

Notes

Let nuts cool fully before adding fruit to prevent sogginess.
Chop large nuts for even bites.
Use unsalted seeds to control flavor.
Add chocolate chips post-baking for a sweet twist.
