Honey Nut Dessert Trail Mix (Healthy and Nourishing)

How to Make Honey Nut Dessert Trail Mix

Follow the steps below and you can have your own mix ready to go in less than 25 minutes:

Preheat the oven. Preheat your oven to 300℉. While the oven is heating up, line your baking sheet with some parchment paper.
Prepare the nut mixture. Add the raw walnuts, raw cashew nuts, honey, and coconut oil to a large bowl and mix to combine.
Bake the nut mixture. Spread the nut mixture in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet and bake for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the nuts are toasted.
Add the coconut chips. Remove from the oven and stir in the unsweetened coconut chips.
Bake for an additional 7 minutes.
Let the trail mix cool. Remove the trail mix from the oven and allow to cool completely.
Finish it off. Stir in the unsweetened banana chips and unsweetened dried blueberries and cranberries.
Store. Store the trail mix until you’re ready to serve.

How Long Does This Dessert Trail Mix Stay Good For?

This honey nut dessert trail mix will keep for up to 6 months with proper storage. Without proper storage, trail mix can turn rancid fairly quickly because of the raw nuts. This is why it’s important to portion out your trail mix before it’s stored properly to avoid the whole batch going bad, if at all.

See below for tips on the best way to store your trail mix.

Best Way to Store Trail Mix

The best way to store this honey nut dessert trail mix (and any other trail mix recipe) is to keep it in either a sealed ziplock bag or an airtight container. I like to use small plastic containers or even just plastic bags that are good for just one serving at a time.

Afterwards, keep the trail mix in a cool dry place.
