Start by preparing your nuts. I'm using a total of 1 cup of walnuts and pecans.

For toppings, I will use apple and raisin, but you can choose any toppings you prefer.

Measure out 1 tablespoon of coconut oil and let it melt in a pan.

Add the nuts to the pan and sauté for about 1 to 2 minutes.

Add in the chopped apple to the pan to soften it a bit while it cooks.

In a separate bowl, combine 1/4 cup of unsweetened shredded coconut, 1 cup of almond milk, and 2 tablespoons of flax seed.

Add cinnamon and nutmeg to taste.

Ninja chop the mixture until well combined.

Pour the mixture into the pan with the nuts and apples.

Stir everything together and let it simmer for about 5 minutes, or longer if you prefer it softer.

If the mixture seems too thick, feel free to add more almond milk as needed.
