1/2 cup almonds, ground
1/2 c. almonds coursely chopped
3 cups old fashioned oats
1/2 t. salt
1/3 c. brown sugar
1/3 c. honey
3 T. coconut oil
1/4 t. vanilla extract
1/8 t. almond extract
------------------------
Add 1/3 c. coconut if you like it. We do.

Preheat oven to 350.

In a food processor or blender, pulse 1/2 c.. almonds until finely chopped. Pour them into a large bowl. Then coarsely chop other half cup of almonds and pour them into the same bowl. Add oats, salt, and brown sugar into the bowl and stir to combine. (also add coconut here if you like it.)

In a small microwavable bowl, combine coconut oil and honey and microwave 30-40 seconds to dissolve coconut oil. Stir and add vanilla and almond extract.

Pour mixture onto a silpat or parchment lined baking sheet (helpful if it has sides). Bake 5 minutes and then stir them around. Return to the oven and bake 5 more minutes. Sometimes it needs a little more, depending if your oven runs hot or not. Should be slightly toasted brown.

Pour onto a sheet of parchment paper, or remove parchment paper from pan and spread it out. Let it cool completely. Break into clusters and store in an airtight container.

Cosmo and I love to make this together.
