1

Gather Your Ingredients

First things first, let's gather all the ingredients you'll need. Here's what you'll need for your Grain-Free Granola Trail Mix: almond slices (1 cup), coconut flakes (1 cup), pumpkin seeds (1/2 cup), sunflower seeds (1/2 cup), cashews (1/2 cup), dried cranberries (1/4 cup), honey (1/4 cup), coconut oil (2 tablespoons), and a pinch of salt.

2

Preheat and Prep

Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C). While the oven is warming up, line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat. This will prevent your mix from sticking to the sheet and make for easier cleanup later.

3

Mix, Mix, Mix

In a large mixing bowl, toss together the almond slices, coconut flakes, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, and cashews. Give them a good mix to ensure they're evenly distributed.

4

Sweeten the Deal

In a small saucepan, heat the honey and coconut oil over low heat until melted and well combined. Pour the sweet mixture over your dry ingredients and toss everything together until well coated.

5

Bake to Perfection

Spread the mixture evenly onto your prepared baking sheet and sprinkle with a pinch of salt for that perfect balance of flavors. Pop it in the preheated oven and bake for about 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown and fragrant. Keep an eye on it to prevent burning!

6

Cool and Store

Once your Grain-Free Granola Trail Mix is beautifully browned and crispy, remove it from the oven and let it cool completely. It's important to let it cool to ensure maximum crunchiness. Once cooled, transfer it to an airtight container and store at room temperature for up to 2 weeks (if it lasts that long!)
