- 2 tsp ground cinnamon

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 325°F and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Whisk the egg white in a bowl until frothy, or prepare a flax 'egg' as an egg replacer.
- Chop the almonds and walnuts coarsely in a food processor or with a knife.

Notes
For a vegan version, replace the egg white with a flax egg.
Add your favorite mix-ins like chocolate chips or seeds for added flavor.
