Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
- ½ cup sliced almonds
- ¼ cup pumpkin seeds (pepitas)
- ¼ cup sunflower seeds
- 2 tablespoons chia seeds
- Pinch of sea salt
Wet Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil
- 3 tablespoons sugar-free maple syrup or keto-friendly sweetener
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and for easy cleanup.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, mix together the shredded coconut, sliced almonds, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, chia seeds, and a pinch of sea salt until well combined.
- Melt Wet Ingredients: In a small saucepan over low heat, gently melt the coconut oil, then stir in the sugar-free maple syrup and vanilla extract until fully combined and smooth.
- Mix Wet and Dry: Pour the melted coconut oil mixture over the dry ingredients. Stir thoroughly to ensure all the dry ingredients are evenly coated with the wet mixture.
- Spread Mixture: Spread the coated mixture onto the prepared baking sheet in a thin, even layer. Press down gently but firmly to help the ingredients stick together and form clusters.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 15 to 18 minutes, watching closely to prevent burning, until the clusters are golden brown.
- Cool and Break into Clusters: Allow the baking sheet to cool completely so the clusters firm up. Once cooled, break the mixture into bite-sized clusters.
- Store: Store the clusters in an airtight container to maintain freshness and crunch.
Notes
- Add hemp seeds, flax seeds, or crushed pecans for added texture and flavor variation.
- Press the mixture firmly onto the baking sheet before baking to help the clusters hold together.
- Allow the clusters to cool fully before breaking apart to ensure they firm up properly.
