- 1/4 cup coconut oil melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon salt

Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lining an 8x8 inch baking dish with parchment paper.
- Mix the Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine almond flour, shredded coconut, honey (or maple syrup), melted coconut oil, vanilla extract, and salt. Stir until well combined.
- Add the Raspberries: Gently fold in the fresh raspberries, being careful not to mash them too much.
