Ingredients

  • 1 cup almonds whole, raw

  • 2 tbsp almond butter
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • 2 tbsp pumpkin seeds raw
  • 2 tbsp raisins
  • 2 tbsp unsweetened shredded coconut
  • 2 tbsp dairy-free mini chocolate chips

Instructions

  • Add nut and oat mixture, nut butter, and salt. Process until combined.
