Coconut, Almond Breakfast Bars
Ingredients:
- 2 cups almonds, chopped
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 4 cups unsweetened, dried coconut
- 1/2 cup honey or maple syrup
- 2 eggs
- optional: handful of raisins or dried cranberries
Directions:
Soak almonds with the salt in water overnight.
Preheat oven to 250 degrees F.
Once the almonds have finished soaking, drain and bake on a cookie sheet for 2 1/2 hours or until crispy. (I will soak and bake several pounds at a time and then keep in freezer until ready to use.) Once almonds have finished baking, heat oven to 350 degrees F.
Mix remaining ingredients together along with the almonds and pat tightly into an 8 x 11-inch (or so) glass baking dish.
Bake in preheated oven for 20 minutes or until edges are golden brown. Cool completely before chilling. Cut into squares and wrap individually or store in an airtight container. Enjoy!!
