Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup unsweetened coconut flakes
- 1/2 cup raw almonds, roughly chopped
- 1/2 cup pecans, roughly chopped
- 1 cup pumpkin seeds
- 1/4 cup sunflower seeds
- 3 tablespoons chia seeds
Wet Ingredients
- 1/4 cup almond butter
- 1/4 cup coconut oil, melted
- 3 tablespoons powdered erythritol or monk fruit sweetener
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon (optional)
Optional
- 1/4 cup sugar free dark chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ease cleanup.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the unsweetened coconut flakes, roughly chopped almonds, pecans, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, and chia seeds, ensuring even distribution.
- Prepare Wet Mixture: Melt the coconut oil in a small saucepan or microwave-safe bowl. Stir in the almond butter, powdered sweetener, vanilla extract, salt, and cinnamon until you achieve a smooth, homogenous mixture.
- Combine Ingredients: Pour the wet mixture over the dry ingredients and stir thoroughly so that all the dry components are evenly coated with the almond butter mixture.
- Form Clusters: Spread the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet. Gently press it down to help the clusters form as they bake, ensuring they hold together well.
- Bake: Place in the oven and bake for 15 to 18 minutes, or until the clusters turn lightly golden in color.
- Cool & Break: Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the mixture cool completely on the baking sheet to firm up. Once cooled, break into clusters of desired size.
- Add Chocolate Chips: Mix in the sugar-free dark chocolate chips, if using, for an extra touch of sweetness and flavor.
- Store: Transfer the clusters to an airtight container to keep them fresh and crunchy for snacking throughout the week.
Notes
- Allow the clusters to cool fully before breaking them apart so they stay crunchy.
- You can substitute other low-carb nuts like macadamia nuts or walnuts depending on your preference.
- For extra flavor, sprinkle a pinch of sea salt on top before baking to enhance the taste.
