Simple Honey Nut & Seed Clusters

( this recipe is a game changer to help those senior leg cramp moments and if nothing else to build up your bone-muscle)

Ingredients:

• 1 cup slivered almonds
• ½ cup raw sunflower seeds
• ½ cup raw pumpkin seeds (pepitas)
• ¼ cup raw honey (or slightly more if needed)
• Optional: Pinch of sea salt or cinnamon for added flavor

Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Toast (optional):
   Lightly toast the almonds, sunflower seeds, and pumpkin seeds in a dry skillet over
   medium heat for 3–5 minutes to bring out their flavor. Let them cool slightly.
3. Mix together:
   In a bowl, combine all the nuts and seeds. Drizzle in the honey and stir well to coat
   everything evenly. The mixture should be sticky but not runny.
4. Scoop into clusters:
   Using a tablespoon or small cookie scoop, place small mounds of the mixture onto the
   lined baking sheet, spacing them slightly apart.
5. Press and shape:
   With the back of the spoon or damp fingers, gently press the clusters together so they
   hold shape better once baked.
6. Bake for 12–15 minutes, or until golden around the edges. Keep a close eye to prevent
   burning.
7. Cool completely on the pan. They will harden as they cool.

Storage Tip:

Store in an airtight jar or tin at room temperature for up to a week (or in the fridge if it’s hot).

Creative Kitchen Use:

Pair these clusters with tea, crumble on top of yogurt or smoothies, or serve on a small plate with
dried fruit for a beautiful snack offering during your Heart & Soul Club gatherings.
