Ingredients
- 1 1 cup EACH: walnuts, pecans, and cashews
- 1 1 cup EACH: banana chips and toasted coconut ribbons see notes
- ½ ½ cup EACH: raisins and chocolate chunks see notes
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Place the walnuts, pecans, and cashews on a baking sheet and toast them in your oven for 6-8 minutes, or until they are lightly browned and smell fragrant. Remove them from the oven and let them cool.
- Once the baking sheet is cool, add all the other ingredients and mix them together. Store in a sealed bag.
- Transfer the trail mix to a resealable bag or glass jar and store it at room temperature for up to 2 months.

Notes
- Coconut: If your coconut is not toasted, place it on a separate baking sheet and toast it in the oven for 4-5 minutes. Coconut toasts faster and burns easier than nuts, so keep a close eye on it.
- Storage: I have found that homemade trail mix lasts for a very long time. I put 2 months in the recipe instructions, but it can last even longer. Eventually, the oils in the nuts and coconut will turn rancid, just like they would if you didn't turn them into trail mix.
- Chocolate: I love using chocolate chunks, but chocolate chips or even M&Ms work great, too.
- Raisins: If raisins aren't your thing, leave them out or try another type of dried fruit, such as cranberries or apricots.
