Method

Gather Ingredients. Collect all the ingredients: almonds, walnuts, dried cranberries, and raisins. Make sure your nuts are unsalted to keep the mix balanced in flavor.
Tip: If you prefer a roasted flavor, you can lightly toast the nuts in a pan for 3-5 minutes before mixing.
Measure Ingredients. Use a kitchen scale to measure 1 ounce of almonds and 0.5 ounce of walnuts. For dried cranberries and raisins, use a measuring cup to get 1/4 cup each.
Tip: Level off the measuring cups for accurate measurements.
Combine Ingredients. In a medium-sized bowl, combine the almonds, walnuts, dried cranberries, and raisins. Mix gently with a spoon or your hands to evenly distribute the ingredients.
Tip: Mix gently to avoid breaking the nuts.
Serve or Store. Your trail mix is ready to eat immediately. If you want to store it, place it in an airtight container to keep it fresh.
Tip: Storing in a cool, dry place preserves freshness and crunchiness.

Pro tips

For added flavor, sprinkle a pinch of cinnamon or a drizzle of honey before mixing.
To keep nuts crunchy, avoid storing the trail mix in humid or warm places.
