1. In a small sauté pan over medium heat, toast the coconut and sliced almonds until slightly golden
2. Make a small well in the middle of the pan and add the coconut oil in the center of the pan and swirl around to melt
3. Add the flaxseed meal, cinnamon, pinch of salt, sweetener of choice, and toss to coat so the spices stick to the nuts and coconut

Notes

1. This recipe can be doubled/tripled etc and can be stored in an airtight container in a cool dark place ahead of time.
2. Feel free to play around with the nut choices and spice options.
3. I like to use stevia to keep this sugar free (buy green stevia for the purest form) to keep my insulin levels down in the morning, but use whatever sweetener works for your dietary needs.
