What do I need to make Healthy Pumpkin Spice Snack Mix?
- Pecans: I love protein-packed pecans and their buttery texture in this recipe, but you can substitute the pecans with your favorite nuts or seeds if you prefer.
- Pretzels: gluten-free vegan pretzels over here, of course! These are so crunchy and wonderful in this recipe.
- Corn Flakes: these are the best crunchy little bits in the mix and I recommend including them if you have them around. You could substitute with a different cereal if preferred.
- Maple Syrup: I love the maple syrup flavor here, but you can also use honey, or a combination of the two if you prefer.
- Coconut Oil: this helps us get a super crispy snack mix. I recommend using refined coconut oil here to get rid of the coconut flavor.
- Pumpkin Pie Spice: a mix of cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger, this makes this taste SO warm and delicious.
- Dried Cranberries: I make sure to always use apple juice-sweetened dried cranberries to get rid of any refined sugars. You can leave these out if preferred, or replace them with chocolate chips for a more decadent snack mix!
What’s really wonderful is that you can switch out the crunchy ingredients to whatever you want. Any nuts will work here, or seeds, or other cereals and crunchy snacks. This is a great clean-out-the-pantry recipe to use up the odds and ends that you have.
Whether you gift it to your friends and family for the holidays or make a batch to satisfy you and your family’s snack cravings, you’ll be making double batches of this Healthy Pumpkin Spice Snack Mix soon enough! Enjoy :D
