Gather the Goodies

First things first, let's get our ingredients together. You'll need 1 cup of almonds, 1 cup of cashews, 1 cup of sunflower seeds, 1/2 cup of coconut flakes, 1/4 cup of chia seeds, 1/4 cup of honey, 1/4 cup of coconut oil, 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt.

Preheat and Toast

Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Spread the almonds, cashews, sunflower seeds, and coconut flakes on the baking sheet. Pop it into the oven and let them toast for about 10-12 minutes, or until they turn golden and oh-so-nutty!

Mix It Up

While the nuts are getting toasty, grab a large bowl and combine the chia seeds, honey, melted coconut oil, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Give it a good stir until everything is nicely mixed and sticky. Ah, that sweet aroma!

The Crunchy Finale

Once the nuts are done toasting, take them out of the oven and let them cool for a minute or two. Then, add them to the bowl with the honey mixture. Now comes the fun part: mix everything together until the nuts are evenly coated with that golden goodness.

Time to Rest

Spread the trail mix back onto the lined baking sheet and let it cool completely. This will allow all the flavors to meld together and create that irresistible crunch. It might be tempting, but try not to sneak a bite just yet!
