3 cups cheerios

⅓ cup dried cranberries (or other dried fruit)

½ cup pepitas (or other seeds)

½ cup walnuts (or other nuts)

¼ cup peanut butter (or other nut or allergy-friendly butter)


Directions

  1. Place the cheerios in a large bowl. Place peanut butter in a small, microwave-safe bowl. Melt peanut butter in the microwave, stirring every 30 seconds.
  2. Pour peanut butter mixture over cereal. Toss to combine.
  3. Add cranberries, pepitas, and walnuts to cheerio mixture.
  4. Pour coated cereal on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Refrigerate at least 2 hours for peanut butter to set. Store leftovers in the refrigerator.

Note: This is an eat-with-a-spoon trail mix. The spoon isn’t strictly necessary, but with no added sugars or fats (beyond what’s already in peanut butter) this mix stays a little sticky. 

Serves: 8 (about 1/2 cup each)
