1/4 Cup Hemp Seeds

1/2 Cup Shredded Coconut 

1 Cup Gluten Free Oats or can sub Quinoa (that’s my preference)

1/3 Cup Raw Honey

1/2 tsp Ginger

1/2 tsp Cinnamon 

2-3 TBSP water

Mix Almond butter and honey together.  If your honey is not soft, heat on the stove top until blended. (Not the microwave please)

Add everything but Oats.  Mix well them stir in the oats or quinoa.
