This snack mix is sweet, salty and crunchy, with real staying power from almonds and pumpkin seeds. A coating of egg white, maple and whey bakes into a crisp cinnamon shell over everything. Make a batch on Sunday and portion it for the week.

Ingredients

For 4 portions.

Snack mix

  • 2 cups corn flakes
  • 1/2 cup whole almonds
  • 1/2 cup raw pumpkin seeds

Coating

  • 1 large egg white
  • 1 scoop unflavored whey protein isolate (about 1/3 cup)
  • 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 1/8 teaspoon kosher salt

Method

  1. Heat the oven to 300°F. Whisk the egg white until foamy, then whisk in the whey, maple syrup, butter, cinnamon and salt. Toss with the corn flakes, almonds and pumpkin seeds.

  2. Spread on a parchment-lined sheet and bake 16 to 18 minutes, stirring halfway, until dry and golden.

Tips

  • Stir halfway through baking so the coating crisps evenly.
  • Let it cool completely on the pan; it crunches up as it cools.
