Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 2 cups unsweetened shredded coconut
- 1/2 cup chopped almonds
- 1/4 cup chopped pecans
- 1/3 cup sugar-free dark chocolate chips
Wet Ingredients
- 1/4 cup coconut oil
- 2 tablespoons powdered erythritol or keto sweetener of choice
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare Baking Sheet: Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, mix together the unsweetened shredded coconut, chopped almonds, and chopped pecans until evenly blended.
- Melt and Mix Wet Ingredients: In a small saucepan over low heat, gently melt the coconut oil. Stir in powdered erythritol, vanilla extract, and sea salt until fully combined and smooth.
- Coat Dry Mixture: Pour the melted coconut oil mixture over the bowl of coconut and nuts. Stir thoroughly to ensure all dry ingredients are evenly coated.
- Form Clusters: Spread the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet in small clusters to ensure even baking and easy portioning.
- Bake: Place the tray in the oven and bake for 18 to 22 minutes, stirring gently halfway through to promote even browning. The clusters should become golden brown.
- Cool Clusters: Remove from the oven and allow the clusters to cool completely on the baking sheet. Cooling will help the clusters set and firm up.
- Melt Chocolate and Finish: Melt the sugar-free dark chocolate chips separately and either drizzle the chocolate over the cooled clusters or gently toss the clusters in the melted chocolate to coat evenly.
- Set Chocolate and Serve: Let the chocolate set completely at room temperature before serving to achieve the perfect texture and flavor combination.
Notes
- Allow the clusters to cool fully before breaking them apart to ensure they hold their shape.
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days or refrigerate for longer freshness.
- Feel free to substitute nuts or sweeteners to match personal preferences while keeping it keto-friendly.
