Ingredients
- 3 cup popped popcorn
- 1/2 cup cashews
- 1 cup walnuts
- 1 cup coconut chips or shredded coconut
- 1/2 cup pumpkin seeds
- 1/2 cup sunflower seeds
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon mixed spice
- 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
- 50 gram butter
- 1/2 cup pure maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 cup dried fruit (we used mango, banana and melon)
Method
- 1Preheat oven to 150°C. Line a large oven tray with baking paper.
- 2Thoroughly mix together the popcorn, nuts, coconut, seeds and spices, then spread evenly over the tray.
- 3In a small saucepan over medium heat, gently melt butter and maple syrup together until bubbling and turning deep brown (about 5 minutes).
- 4Have a whisk at the ready. Remove pan from heat, stir in vanilla and baking soda and whisk vigorously. Be warned: the mixture may fizz and bubble so take care.
- 5Quickly pour hot maple liquid over popcorn mixture and use a spoon or spatula to mix and coat as much of it as you can. Place tray in oven and bake for 20 minutes, turning occasionally, until golden brown all over.
- 6Remove from oven. Once cooled, stir through the dried fruit. Store in an airtight container.
