Ingredients:

  • 1.5 cups (210g) raw whole almonds
  • 1 cup (150g) raw cashew halves
  • 0.5 cup (65g) raw pepitas
  • 0.5 cup (60g) pecan halves
  • 1 cup (150g) premium golden raisins
  • 0.5 cup (75g) dried apricots, chopped
  • 0.25 cup (30g) unsweetened coconut chips
  • 0.5 cup (90g) dark chocolate chunks, 70% cacao
  • 1 tbsp (15ml) melted coconut oil
  • 1 tsp (6g) flaky sea salt
  • 0.5 tsp (1g) ground cinnamon

Instructions:

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Note: A consistent temperature is vital for even browning.
  2. Combine the raw almonds, cashews, pepitas, and pecans in a large mixing bowl.
  3. Drizzle the 15ml of melted coconut oil over the nut mixture. Note: Use your hands to toss; it's the only way to ensure every nook is coated.
  4. Sprinkle the cinnamon and half of the sea salt over the wet nuts and toss again.
  5. Spread the mixture onto a large rimmed baking sheet in a single, even layer. Roast for 10 minutes until the cashews are golden and the pecans smell intensely fragrant.
  6. Remove the tray from the oven and immediately sprinkle the remaining sea salt and the coconut chips over the hot nuts.
  7. Cool the tray completely on a wire rack. Wait until the tray is cold to the touch before proceeding.
  8. Chop the dried apricots into pieces roughly the size of the raisins.
  9. Fold the golden raisins, chopped apricots, and dark chocolate chunks into the cooled nut mixture.
  10. Transfer to an airtight glass jar for storage.
