Preparation

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350ºF. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.

In a large bowl, combine the pecans, coconut, raisins, flaxseed, cinnamon, and salt. In a small bowl, stir together the almond butter, honey, and vanilla until smooth. Stir this into the dry ingredients to form a crumbly mixture. Stir in the egg whites to coat all of the ingredients evenly.

Drop packed tablespoons onto the lined baking sheets, spacing at least 1 inch apart. Bake for about 15 minutes, rotating the pan once halfway through, until golden brown and firm to the touch. Cool completely. Store in an airtight container at room temperature.
