Healthy Whole Wheat Chex Mix Recipe
It’s an addictive blend of cheese crackers, whole grain chex, peanuts, and flaxseeds baked in a spicy mix until crispy. Hopefully it becomes a holiday tradition in your family too!
Ingredients
- 1 5-ounce box whole grain cheese crackers (I used Simple Mills cheese crackers)
- 3 cups whole grain cherios
- 3 cups whole grain chex
- 1 1/2 cup peanuts
- 1/4 cup flax seed
- 4 teaspoons smoked paprika
- 2 teaspoons chili powder
- 1 teaspoon curry powder
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 3/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/3 cup coconut oil, melted
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 250 degrees.
- In a large bowl, mix together crackers, cereal, peanuts and flax. In a small bowl, mix together spices.
- Drizzle oil over the cereal mix, tossing to combine. Sprinkle the spice mix over the top, tossing well to combine again. Spread evenly over two large baking sheets. Bake for an 1 hour and 15 minutes, tossing every 15 minutes and switching positions of the baking sheets halfway through, until crispy and golden.
- Remove from oven and set aside to cool. Will keep at least a week in an airtight container at room temperature.
