Bruce Trail Mix

Ingredients

1/4 cup / 50 ml walnut halves
2 tbsp / 25 ml dried cherries
2 tbsp / 25 ml dark chocolate chips
1/2 cup / 125 ml toasted large-flake rolled oats

Directions

To toast oats (optional, but adds a nutty flavour), spread the oats on a baking sheet and pop them in an oven heated to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Toast for 10 minutes, turning occasionally until golden brown.

In a large mixing bowl, toss together almonds, walnuts, dried cherries, chocolate chips and oats.

Store in an airtight container.

Tip: Make a batch of toasted oats. They're delicious cooked as oatmeal or soaked overnight for a quick breakfast.
