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

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.
Pour peanut butter mixture over cereal. Toss to combine.
Add cranberries, pepitas, and walnuts to cheerio mixture.
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)

Recipe Makeovers

25 Apr, 2024

There are some recipes we make the same way every time. Traditional family recipes, like Mom’s chicken or Grandma’s cookies, must be followed to create the desired result. Other recipes have more flexibility. Many recipes we come across while scrolling social media can be tweaked to be made more nutritious without compromising the recipe’s integrity. With this in mind, we can start with almost any recipe and still end up with something that sounds good and is more nutrient-dense.
