Often times I sit and want just a small snack to keep on my desk while I am tying away something that is yummy and not too fattening. I like having a bowl of something to just grab and snack on while I work. And I am sure you know that fresh veggies don’t always cut it or curb that sugar need. So this little mix helps cover that need.
Maple and Spice Snack Mix
What You Need:
- 1/4 c sugar free pancake syrup
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter, cut up in small chunks
- 1 tbsp chili powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp cinnamon
- 3 c air popped popcorn
- 3 c mixed nuts, unsalted
- 1 c wheat nuts
- 1/3 c dried blueberries with no sugar added
How to Make It:
- Pour the syrup into a medium size saucepan.
- Place over low heat.
- Add the butter and let it begin to melt.
- Sprinkle in the chili powder, salt and cinnamon.
- Stirring often continue to cook on low until the butter has completely melted.
- Set the oven temperature to 300 degrees.
- Toss together the popcorn, mixed nuts, wheat nuts and blueberries in a large baking pan.
- Pour the syrup mixture over the top and toss to coat all the ingredients completely.
- Bake 25 minutes or until golden brown. Be sure to stir the snack mix a couple of times during baking to ensure it browns evenly.
- Cool the snack mix to room temperature before storing in a container.
Wheat nuts can be found in most natural food stores. This snack mix is great to munch on anytime. Just remember a 1/2 c is a good portion at any one time.
