• 44. Add coconut oil, almond butter, honey and vanilla to flax goop and mix well.
• 55. Add almond flour and baking soda and stir to combine.
• 66. Add slivered almonds, shredded coconut, pepitas, sunflower seeds, sesame seeds and chocolate chips or dried fruit. Stir to combine.
• 77. Spoon batter into prepared baking pan. Spread out and flatten well with your hand or the back of a spatula.
