    With school starting this week, I decided it was time to get my girls involved in making healthy school morning breakfasts. With a little meal prepping of course.

    My girls love oatmeal as long as we have delicious toppings available. So we decided to make a big batch of oatmeal for the week along with some delicious toppings.

    I'd have to say that these maple-roasted cashews are their favorite out of all the toppings we prepared. Plus, they're super easy to make!

    Let's talk ingredients.

    Ingredients

    For maple roasted cashews, you'll need the following ingredients:

    Ingredients to make maple roasted cashews
    • Cashews- Be sure to buy unsalted and unroasted cashews.
    • Olive Oil- I love to use olive oil for the health benefits, but feel free to substitute vegetable or canola oil if you prefer.
    • Maple Syrup- You can substitute honey or agave syrup.
    • Brown Sugar- Coconut sugar works great too.
    • Salt- The cashews are so much tastier with a hint of salt.

    Instructions

    cashews on a baking sheet

    To make maple-roasted cashews, you simply mix all the ingredients in a bowl and roast them on a parchment-lined baking sheet. It's SO EASY and so much better than store-bought maple-roasted cashews.

    You can enjoy these cashews in so many ways: on their own, in salads, as toppings for oatmeal, mousse, and breakfast pudding, or anything that you want to add a bit of crunch. They will keep for about a week in a sealed container if they last that long!

    Store your cashews in an airtight container for up to a week (honestly, maybe longer, but mine never last long).
