Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups raw cashews
- 1/2 cup honey
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a large mixing bowl, add the raw cashews and set aside.
- In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine honey, brown sugar, vanilla extract, sea salt, and ground cinnamon. Stir until it comes to a gentle boil and the sugar dissolves, about 2-3 minutes.
- Pour the hot honey mixture over the cashews and stir well to coat.
- Scoop small portions of the honey-coated cashews onto a prepared baking sheet, forming irregular clusters.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until golden brown and fragrant, keeping an eye on them to avoid burning.
- Remove from the oven and let cool completely on the baking sheet.
Notes
- For a vegan option, replace honey with maple syrup.
- If allergic to nuts, use seeds like sunflower or pumpkin seeds.
- Add a pinch of nutmeg or dried fruits for extra flavor.
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
