Swaps, storage and make-ahead
Swaps
- Swap the walnuts for pecans or cashews if that is what you have in the cupboard.
- For a nut-free mix, replace the almonds and walnuts with extra pumpkin and sunflower seeds, and check the seed packets for nut cross-contact warnings if that matters to you.
- Use dried cranberries or chopped dates instead of the apricots for a different chewy fruit.
- If you add chocolate, choose dark chocolate chips labelled vegan and dairy-free to keep the mix vegan.
Storage
Once completely cool, keep the mix in an airtight jar at room temperature, away from heat and sunlight, for up to 3 weeks. For longer storage, refrigerate or freeze it so the nuts do not go rancid.
Make ahead
Toast the nuts, seeds and coconut up to 3 weeks ahead, cool them fully and store them airtight. Stir in the dried fruit whenever you like, and portion into small containers for grab-and-go snacks.
