Ingredients:

  • 1 bag (8 oz) pecans
  • 1 bag (8 oz) cashews
  • 1 bag (8 oz) almonds
  • 1 bag (4 oz) dried cranberries (unsweetened if available)
  • 3 tablespoons honey
  • 4 tablespoons coconut oil
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Instructions:

  1. Preheat your oven to 275°F (135°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the pecans, cashews, almonds, and dried cranberries.
  3. In a small saucepan, heat the honey and coconut oil over low heat until melted. Stir in the vanilla extract and ground cinnamon until well combined.
  4. Pour the honey mixture over the nuts and cranberries, stirring until evenly coated.
  5. Spread the coated nuts and cranberries evenly onto the prepared baking sheet.
  6. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, stirring every 10 minutes to ensure even coating and prevent burning.
  7. After 20-25 minutes, check the nuts for desired crunchiness. If you prefer a crunchier texture, bake for an additional 5-10 minutes.
  8. Once baked to your liking, remove the nuts from the oven and let them cool completely on the baking sheet.
  9. Once cooled, transfer the glazed nuts and cranberries to an airtight container for storage or portion them into individual servings for your trip.
  10. Enjoy your delicious and healthy glazed nuts while on the go!
