Ingredients
  

  • 3 cups (240 g / 8.5 oz) unsweetened coconut flakes
  • 1 cup (92 g / 3.25 oz) sliced almonds
  • ¾ tablespoon (5 g / 0.18 oz) ground cinnamon
  • ¾ tablespoon (5 g / 0.18 oz) ground nutmeg
  • Watch it like a hawk. Coconut and almonds go from perfectly toasted to burnt in seconds. Stay by your oven and don't get distracted.
  • A single layer is key. For an even, crispy crunch, ensure the mixture is spread in a thin, single layer on your baking sheet. Don't overcrowd the pan; use two if necessary.
  • Experiment with flavors. Add a pinch of cardamom, a dash of vanilla extract (toss it with the coconut before baking), or a sprinkle of sea salt to enhance the flavors.
  • Store for freshness. Store your cooled cereal in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week for maximum crunch.

Method
 

  1. Directions
  2. Preheat your oven to 250°F / 120°C and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
  3. In a medium bowl, combine the unsweetened coconut flakes and sliced almonds.
  4. Toss gently to mix.
  5. Sprinkle the ground cinnamon and nutmeg over the coconut and almond mixture.
  6. Stir well until everything is evenly coated.
  7. Spread the mixture in a single, even layer on the prepared baking sheet.
  8. Bake for 3-5 minutes, watching very closely. Coconut can burn in an instant!
  9. Remove from the oven as soon as the flakes are a light golden brown and fragrant.
  10. Let the mixture cool completely on the baking sheet. It will become crispier as it cools.
