Preparation

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 300* and line a baking sheet with parchment paper [or a silpat].
Whisk the syrup, coconut oil, and cinnamon together until combined. Coconut oil is crucial in the hardening of the clusters.
Spread nuts and pepitas on the lined baking sheet and toss with the syrup mixture.
Spread into an even layer while keeping the nuts and seeds touching.
Bake for 10 minutes, toss with a silicone spatula and bake for another 10-12 minutes, until golden brown.
Let cool for 15 minutes [or so] then place the baking sheet in the freezer for about 30 minutes until fully set and hardened.
Break apart and place in jars then seal with the lid.
*I used 1/2 cup raw almonds, cashews, and pecans.
