Ingredients

• 1 cup Almonds
• 0.5 cup Pumpkin seeds
• 0.5 cup Sunflower seeds
• 0.25 cup Chia seeds
• 0.5 cup Pistachios
• 0.75 cup Honey
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
• 2 tablespoons Coconut oil

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.

Step 2

Spread the almonds, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, chia seeds, and pistachios evenly on the prepared baking sheet.

Step 3

Toast the nuts and seeds in the preheated oven for about 10 minutes, stirring halfway through, until they are lightly browned and fragrant.

Step 4

Meanwhile, in a medium saucepan, combine the honey and coconut oil. Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, until the mixture comes to a gentle boil.

Step 5

Once the mixture starts to boil, let it cook for approximately 2-3 minutes without stirring until it thickens slightly.

Step 6

Remove from heat, and quickly stir in the vanilla extract, salt, and baking soda until well combined. The mixture will foam slightly.

Step 7

Pour the hot syrup over the toasted nuts and seeds and mix quickly with a spatula until everything is evenly coated.

Step 8

Spread the mixture evenly back onto the parchment-lined baking sheet, pressing down with the spatula to compact it into a single layer.

Step 9

Allow the brittle to cool completely at room temperature or in the refrigerator until it hardens completely, about 1 hour.

Step 10

Once hardened, break the brittle into pieces and store it in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.
