Breakfast Nut Crisp

Ingredients

N

The crisp:

  • 1 cup raw, unsalted sunflower seeds 
  • 1 cup finely ground cashews (food processor works well for creating nut meals like this) 
  • 1 cup unsweetened, dehydrated coconut with no additives (available at WFM in bins or TJs (cheap!)) 
  • 1 Tbsp ground cinnamon 
  • ½ tsp ground nutmeg 
  • 1 Tbsp arrowroot 
  • 1 Tbsp vanilla extract 
  • ¼ cup coconut oil 
  • 1 Tbsp honey 
  • ½ tsp sea salt 
  • 6+ cups chopped fruit (My personal favorite is to combine ~5 1/2 cups unpeeled pears and ½ cup dried blueberries or currants. On retreat, we used a mixture of organic raisins and dried cranberries.)
Golden-brown breakfast nut crisp cut into squares, topped with coconut flakes and chopped nuts, on white parchment paper.

Yields: 12-16 Squares

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
  2. Melt coconut oil and honey together in a small saucepan on medium heat. Cool; then stir in vanilla.
  3. Meanwhile, blend dry ingredients (nuts, seeds, coconut, cinnamon, nutmeg, arrowroot, and sea salt) together in a separate bowl.
  4. Pour the two mixtures together and blend well (clean hands are your best tool!), mixing thoroughly. Place in a large “lasagna” pan and tamp down to make a relatively smooth top surface.
  5. Bake for ~45 min. or until fruit is desired softness.
  6. Serve hot with vanilla sauce on side
