| Directions: | 1. Combine almonds, coconut flakes, nuts and fruit in a bowl
2 Whisk together oil, honey and cinnamon

5.Bake for one hour at 275 degrees, stirring every 15 minutes to prevent burning
A small note: You can interchange ingredients as you’d like, but keep in mind the more sugar you add, the more likely it is that it will burn! ALWAYS check in on this recipe and pull it out early if it starts to get too brown!
This recipe makes a hefty batch that you can store in your pantry for quite a while. It is wonderful to eat loose by the handful or as part of a trail mix; but our boys love it by the bowl full with a handful of berries. Once you’ve made a batch, feel free to play with the nuts to include your own favorites – just make sure to always keep sliced almonds and coconut flakes as the base. Our kids particularly love the cranberry and dates combination but we’ve used raisin and chopped apricots with good luck too.
