Walnuts are my favorite but this basic recipe will work well with almost any variation.

Lay this mixture out on an oven proof sheet and toast for 2-3 minutes in a toaster over or oven at 400 degrees. You may want to stir the mixture half-way through toasting. Watch the mixture carefully, as coconut burns easily. You can also eat this raw, but it gets a delightful crunch when toasted! You can make your own coconut flour by putting shredded coconut into a vitamix and pulsing the blades, or just use dried shredded coconut.
