Of course, note that you can adjust the nuts, seed, and dry fruit proportions to your preference.
Ingredients
- 1/4 cup raw honey
- 2 tablespoons blackstrap molasses
- 3 tablespoons grass-fed butter or virgin coconut oil
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
- 1/2 teaspoon Kosher salt
- 1 cup sliced almonds
- 1 cup walnuts, chopped
- ½ cup sunflower seeds
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
- 1 tablespoon ground golden flax seeds
- 1 cup golden raisins
- 2/3 cup dried cranberries, chopped
- 1/2 cup dried apricots, chopped
- 1/4 cup chia seeds
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 275F.
- Line and grease a 9×13″ baking pan with coconut oil or parchment paper.
- First combine honey, molasses, butter, vanilla, cinnamon, ginger, cloves, and sea salt in a medium saucepan. Then heat over medium until ingredients melt into a smooth mixture. Then remove from heat and set aside.
- Then put the rest of the ingredients in a large bowl. Split that in ½. Half goes in a food processor.
- Pulse the mix until finely ground and sticky.
- After that, combine the mixture from the food processor and mix with a rubber spatula in a large bowl. Lastly, stir in the reserved honey mixture.
- Press the mix into the lined baking pan and press into an even layer with the rubber spatula.
- Then bake for 20-25 minutes — or until the nuts and seeds are golden brown.
- Finally, cool to room temperature, then put in the refrigerator for 1 hour before removing from the pan to slice into the shape of your choice.
