How to Make Vegan Chex Mix

Important note: It was kindly brought to my attention that General Mill's Chex cereals in the U.S. contain D3 which is typically derived from lanolin (sheep's wool). Therefore it's not 100% vegan (as of this writing).

So if you are in the U.S. be sure to look for an alternative, vegan-friendly chex-like cereal for this recipe.

Ingredients

• 3 cups corn chex cereal
• 3 cups rice chex cereal
• 1 1/2 cup pretzels (GF if desired)
• 1 1/2 cup mixed nuts
• 6 Tbsp. vegan butter (I like Miyoko's brand)
• 1 Tbsp. tamari (or soy sauce)
• 1 tsp. onion powder
• 1 tsp. garlic powder
• 3/4 tsp. smoked paprika
• 1/4 tsp. salt (more/less to taste)

Instructions

• Preheat oven to 250°F (130°C).
• In a very large mixing bowl, add chex, pretzels, and nuts.
• Melt the butter in a microwave-safe bowl. When melted, add tamari, paprika, onion powder, garlic powder, and salt. Stir. (Feel free to test the salt level by dipping one of the chex.)
• Immediately after stirring the butter mixture, pour it over the chex mix.
• Gently stir for 1-2 minutes to thoroughly combine.
• Place on a baking pan, and spread evenly.
• Bake for about 1 hour (or more if desired), stirring every 15 minutes.
• Let cool and store in an airtight container.

Notes

Vegan cereal: Be sure to find a vegan-friendly Chex-style cereal.

For gluten-free: Use GF pretzels and GF tamari.
