Delicious, Salty, Keto Coconut Clusters

Keto Coconut Clusters Recipe (Yields 24 Clusters)

These keto coconut clusters are more than just a delicious treat—they’re a nutritional powerhouse carefully crafted to support your active lifestyle. By combining unsweetened shredded coconut and coconut oil, the recipe provides a good dose of medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs), which are quickly converted into energy by your body. This means you get an immediate energy boost without the sluggishness that can come from traditional carbohydrates.

The mix of sliced almonds, pepitas, and sunflower seeds delivers a rich blend of protein, healthy fats, and fiber. These ingredients not only help keep you feeling full and satisfied but also contribute essential vitamins and minerals like vitamin E, magnesium, and zinc, which are key for heart health and overall well-being. Adding chia seeds ups the fiber content even more while offering omega-3 fatty acids that support a healthy inflammatory response.

A small amount of honey and sugar-free chocolate baking chips brings a touch of natural sweetness and antioxidants to the mix without overloading on carbs—making these clusters a smart choice even for those on a strict keto diet. Plus, the egg white contributes lean protein that aids in muscle repair and maintenance.

Together, these ingredients create a balanced snack that provides sustained energy, supports metabolism, and satisfies cravings, all while fitting nicely into a ketogenic lifestyle. Enjoying these clusters means you’re not just indulging in a tasty treat, but also fueling your body with a well-rounded mix of nutrients essential for overall health.

Ingredients:
• 1/2 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
• 1/2 cup sliced almonds
• 1/2 cup pepitas (pumpkin seeds)
• 1/2 cup sunflower seeds
• 1/2 cup sugar‐free chocolate baking chips
• 2 tablespoons coconut oil
• 2 tablespoons honey
• 1 tablespoon chia seeds
• 1 egg white
• 1 big pinch of sea salt

Instructions:
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. In a large bowl, combine the shredded coconut, sliced almonds, pepitas, sunflower seeds, chocolate chips, and chia seeds.
3. If needed, gently warm the coconut oil so it mixes easily, then add it along with the honey, egg white, and sea salt to the dry ingredients. Stir thoroughly until the mixture is evenly combined.
4. Scoop about 2 tablespoons of the mixture per cluster onto a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper—this should yield approximately 24 clusters.
5. Bake in the preheated oven for about 7 minutes, or until the clusters begin to set.
6. Remove from the oven and, while still warm, gently press or reshape the clusters as needed. Allow them to cool completely to firm up.
