Ingredients
- 2 cups Raw cashews
- 0.5 cup Pumpkin seeds
- 0.25 cup Chia seeds
- 0.25 cup Hemp seeds
- 0.5 cup Unsweetened shredded coconut
- 0.5 cup Maple syrup
- 1 scoop Vanilla protein powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Sea salt
- 2 tablespoons Coconut oil
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the raw cashews, pumpkin seeds, chia seeds, hemp seeds, and shredded coconut.
Step 3
In a small saucepan over low heat, combine the maple syrup and coconut oil until melted and well mixed.
Step 4
Remove the saucepan from heat, and stir in the vanilla protein powder and sea salt until fully dissolved and combined with the liquid mixture.
Step 5
Pour the syrup mixture over the dry ingredients in the mixing bowl and stir well until all the nuts and seeds are well coated.
Step 6
Spread the mixture evenly onto the prepared baking sheet, pressing down gently to form an even layer.
Step 7
Bake in the preheated oven for about 15 minutes, or until golden brown, stirring halfway through to ensure even cooking.
Step 8
Remove from the oven and let the cashew clusters cool completely on the baking sheet. They will harden as they cool.
Step 9
Once cooled, break into clusters of desired size and store in an airtight container.
