Coconut Cashew Clusters

I haven't had a chance to make Jamie's coconut candy because I can't stop making these clusters.

They're candy enough for me!

I love these and so does my family. They're incredibly easy to make and even better - my secret is I don't measure anything. DUMP AND STIR!!  You'll have to do something really nutty to mess this up.

Ingredients:
-cashews (or nuts of choice)
-flax meal
-cinnamon
-shredded coconut
-coconut flakes
-maple syrup
-coconut oil

Process: 

Dump all the ingredients in a bowl. (For this post (which is not allowing me to move pictures), I attempted granola bars. As long as they're frozen they stay in bar shape but crumble easily. )

Meanwhile, melt the coconut oil and mix with maple. I put these in a metal bowl in the oven for a few minutes. Remember that bowl is hot!

Mix.

Usually I put a spoonful of the mixture in a silicone muffin cup and then into the fridge. The cups peel off once the coconut oil has hardened and they're a great serving size.
