handful crasins or rasins
1 cup minced nuts (Equal parts: minced almond, sunflower, pumpkin and flax seeds)
4 tablespoons shredded coconut, unsweetened
Directions:

3. Bake for 30 minutes or until golden brown on top. Remove from oven and slice into desired serving while still warm. Let cool a bit then move to a cooling rack. Cool and enjoy, or while they are warm, top them with frozen banana ice cream for dessert.
