  • 1/4 cup cacao powder 
  • 2 cups large coconut flakes 
  • 2 tablespoons brown flax seeds

  • 2 tablespoons cacao nibs (optional)

  2. In a large bowl, mix together almond butter, maple syrup, sea salt, vanilla extract, cinnamon and cacao powder until thoroughly combined. 
  3. Add coconut flakes, flax seeds, sesame seeds, walnuts, sunflower seeds and cacao nibs if using and stir to coat with a stiff spatula or wood spoon.
