Ingredients

8 servings
  • 1 cup crisp honey squares cereal (such as Honey Nut Chex)
  • 1 cup crisp wheat cereal (such as Wheat Chex)
  • 1/2 cup mini pretzel twists
  • 1/2 cup unsalted cashews
  • 1/2 cup pecan halves
  • 1/4 cup whole almonds
  • 1/4 cup unsalted peanuts
  • 1 egg white (or 3 tablespoons liquid egg whites)
  • 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup
  • 2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon ground chipotle chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground chili powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground cayenne pepper

Steps

  1. Preheat the oven to 250 degrees F. Lightly coat a baking sheet with non-stick spray, line with parchment paper, then coat with baking spray once more. Set aside.

  2. In a large bowl, combine the honey nut cereal, wheat cereal, pretzels, cashews, pecans, peanuts, and almonds.

  3. In another bowl, beat the egg white until foamy, then stir in the maple syrup, cinnamon, chipotle powder, chili powder, salt, cumin, and cayenne. Drizzle over the cereal and nut mixture, then toss to coat.

  4. Spread the mixture in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 1 hour, stirring once every 20 minutes. The mixture is done when dry to the touch. Remove from the oven, place the pan on a cooling rack, and let cool completely.
