Ingredients:
2/3 cup Brazil nuts
2/3 cup pecans
1/3 cup pumpkin seeds
1/3 cup ground flaxseeds
1/3 cup raisins
1/4 cup coconut flakes
5 tablespoons coconut oil, melted
4 tablespoons maple syrup/honey for my SIBO clients
2 teaspoons cinnamon
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Method:
Preheat oven to 180 degrees.
Chop Brazil nuts and pecans in a food processor. Mix in a bowl with all the other nuts, seeds, and coconut flakes.
Combine melted coconut oil, maple syrup, cinnamon, and vanilla extract. Pour into the dry ingredients and mix until everything is well-coated.
Place in the oven to cook for 30 minutes, stirring halfway through using a wooden spoon to break up any large chunks of nuts and seeds.
Allow to cool fully before serving/storing.
