I decided to take the kids to the children's museums yesterday so that they could learn some new things while burning off a that energy that they had at home. I discoverd a café there in the museum called green bellies where they had nothing but green foods(healthy foods). I wanted a healthy snack in which I was urged to try the nut clusters and ummmmmmm.....they were so good. They were so good that I immediately looked up a recipe for nut clusters.
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup almonds
- 1/2 cup cashew pieces
- 1/2 cup sunflower seeds (shelled)
- 1/2 cup peanuts
- 1 TBL Brown Rice Syrup
- 3 TBL Honey
Instructions
- Mix brown rice syrup and honey in a small bowl.
- In a large bowl, combined nuts and seeds.
- Pour honey syrup mixture over nuts.
- Scoop into a pan lined with parchment paper! (otherwise, tough to remove) (8X8 or 8 inch round pan).
- Bake at 350 for at least 20 minutes, or until just before nuts start to brown. Take out of oven and leave on the counter for several hours, preferable overnight to harden.
- By morning, your custers will be well glued together!
Use any mixture of nuts and seeds you like. I did this a second time with only almonds. The key is to get 2 cups worth of nuts and seeds, to 4 TBL worth of sweeteners.
The verdict! Don't make it if you can't stop yourself from eating too many because it's amazing!!! One little cluster however is perfect for kids lunch or snack!
