HEALTHIER FALL SNACKS

1. MAPLE NUTS & CEREAL

What is fall without maple flavor? Spice up your plain nuts with some maple flavor. And for some extra crunchiness, vitamins and fiber toss in some cereals as well (if using a healthier version of your regular cereal). Plus, toasted nuts taste so much better than raw ones. You should definitely give this snack a try, you will love it!

Ingredients:

-nuts of choice (like cashews, pecans, almonds..)

-cereal of choice (we used wholegrain buckwheat O’s, maple flavored)

-maple syrup

Instructions:

1.Heat up a skillet* and add in the nuts. Toast them for a few minutes until golden brown.

2.Add in your cereals and toast them a couple more minutes.

3.Drizzle some maple syrup, not too much, just enough to coat every nut and cereal. Continue to toast a couple more minutes until everything is coated.

4.Let them cool, then transfer to your favorite bowl.

5.Serve warm, they taste so much better.

*You could toast your nuts in the oven as well, just keep an eye on them not to burn. Skillet version is easier J
