How to Make Easy Seed and Nut Brittle

So, here’s the deal: making this brittle is as easy as pie. Well, easier than pie, really. You just toss a bunch of ingredients together, bake it, and voilà! Here’s how to do it in a jiffy:

Preheat your oven to 165℃ (that’s 325℉ for the Fahrenheit folks).
Prepare your baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper or a non-stick liner. If you don’t have a big one, just use two smaller sheets.
Mix your dry ingredients in a large bowl: the seeds, coconut, nuts, cinnamon, vanilla, and salt.
Whisk together the warmed coconut oil and honey, then pour that sticky goodness over the dry mix.
Stir everything until well combined and spread it out on your lined baking sheet, leaving a small edge.
Bake for about 20-25 minutes until golden brown. Don’t forget to rotate the tray halfway through!
Cool completely before breaking into pieces. Then, store it wherever you can hide it from yourself. 😅

Ingredients

300 g mixed seeds: I used sunflower, sesame, linseeds (flax), chia, and pumpkin seeds.

50 g mixed nuts, chopped if large (I went with pine nuts and hazelnuts)
1 tsp cinnamon, ginger, or any sweet spice
1 tsp vanilla extract
¼ tsp salt
2 tbsp coconut oil (warmed to a liquid state)
175 g honey
