Equipment

  • Oven
  • Wire rack
  • Pyrex bowl
  • Saucepan

Ingredients

  • 4 tbsp Cashew nuts (halved)
  • 4 tbsp Almonds
  • 4 tbsp Hazelnuts

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 200°C.

  • Put all the nuts in a large bowl and mix to combine.
  • In a separate bowl, mix the honey with the agave syrup and vanilla extract.
  • Pour your wet ingredient mixture over the top of your dry ingredients and mix them together until all the nuts are evenly coated.
  • Carefully spoon the mixture into the cases, using two spoons if that makes it easier.
  • Place your nut clusters in the oven and cook for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the tops are lightly golden.
