Ingredients:
5 cups okara (if homemade, 'fluff' it first, then measure)

1 1/2 cups quick cooking oats

1 1/3 cup shredded coconut
1 cup sliced almonds
1 fluid oz. coconut essence (a small bottle)
1/2 - 1 teaspoon sea salt
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 325F.
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine all ingredients and mix thoroughly.
3. Spread mix no more than 1/2 inch thick over a large cookie sheet that has been sprayed with non-stick cooking spray.
4. Bake for about 1 hour, stirring occasionally until desired color/crispness is attained.
5. Cool and store in an airtight container (in refrigerator for longer life).
