Keto Copycat Coconut Clusters - Super Seed Nut-Free

by 53 Comments

Jump to Recipe·Print Recipe

Deliciously simple keto coconut clusters are easy to make and delicious to eat.

These quick and easy Keto Copycat Coconut Clusters are so simple to make.  Combining unsweetened flaked coconut with some seeds, coconut oil and sweetener, you can make this keto, low carb, gluten-free snack in a matter of minutes.  I urge you to try making this today...your family will thank you!  And, since they taste just like the Super Seed Coconut Clusters by Innofoods that you can buy at Costco, you can eat this keto treat even if you don't have a membership!

Coconut and seeds are combined to form this sweet and crunchy keto snack.

The other day when we were walking around Costco, Mr. Grumbles and I stumbled upon a bag of Super Seed Coconut Clusters by Innofoods Inc.

As Mr. Grumbles, being a coconut-lover, quickly grabbed the bag and placed it in the cart.

I, on the other hand, quickly grabbed the bags and took them out of the cart.

Why do you ask?

Well, they are downright expensive!

If you look them up on amazon, an 18 oz bag of these Coconut Clusters is about $18!!  That's about $1 for 1 oz!!!

I quickly scanned the bag and declared "I can easily make these at home...And I can make them into a Keto version for a lot cheaper!"

Of course, Mr. Grumbles gave me a skeptic look and that was all it took for me to be determined to make these coconut clusters at home!

Spread the coconut and seed mixture in a dish and stick it in the oven. That's all you have to do!

What makes these the BEST coconut clusters?

  • only require 6 ingredients
  • only take minutes to make
  • they actually truly taste better than the store-bought version
  • they have less than 1 gram of sugar per serving
  • they only require 1 bowl to clean
  • they are a delicious keto snack that you and your kids will love
  • they can be easily customized by simply swapping out ingredients
  • you don't end up with a lot of broken pieces that look like granola like the store-bought brand
  • Non-GMO, gluten-free, kosher, vegan-friendly and no artificial ingredients
  • they are much cheaper to make than they are to buy

Coconut flakes, pumkin seeds, sunflower seeds and chia seeds make this the perfect keto snack.

How much money will you save if you make these at home?

If you buy these from amazon, an 18 0z bag of InnoFoods Coconut Clusters will cost you $17.49.

The total weight of my recipe is about 9.7 oz and will cost you approximately $2.08!  So, if you double my recipe (and therefore double the costs), making these Keto Copycat Coconut Clusters at home will only cost $4.16!!

That's a savings of over $13.33!!!

  • Sugar: 0.9g

What ingredients do you need to make these Super Seed Keto Copycat Coconut Clusters?

  • unsweetened coconut flakes
  • sprouted (or raw) pumpkin seeds
  • raw unsalted sunflower seeds
  • chia seeds
  • coconut oil
  • sweetener
  • OPTIONAL - maple extract, coconut extract, vanilla, etc...

These homemade keto coconut clusters only require a couple of ingredients and under 10 minutes of your time to make.

How do you make these easy Super Seed Keto Copycat Coconut Clusters?

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Prepare a 8 x 8, 9 x 9 or any other size rectangular or circular size pan by lining it with parchment paper
  • Add all the coconut, seeds and salt to a medium-size mixing bowl and stir to combine the ingredients
  • Pour coconut oil over the dry ingredients and stir it well so that the coconut oil covers all the dry ingredients.
  • If using, add in additional extract flavourings such as vanilla or maple
  • Add the sweetener to the bowl and stir to make sure that the sweetener is covering all the sides of the coconut and the seed
  • Pour the mixture into the baking dish and press down slightly
  • Bake for 8-10 minutes or until the coconut begins to brown.

Baking the coconut and seeds in the oven makes them nice and crispy.

  • Remove from the oven and using spatula or turner, press down on the mixture
  • Let cool completely
  • Once cooled, place it in the fridge or freezer to cool even further before breaking it into pieces

What can I substitute some of the ingredients with?

  • use any type of seed or nut in equal amounts
  • use flax or hemp seeds instead of chia seeds
  • use butter instead of coconut oil
  • use regular sugar instead of sweetener
  • use maple extract or maple syrup instead of the vanilla extract

These homemade coconut clusters are the perfect keto snack for your kids or your lunch.

Tips and Tricks for making these Keto Copycat Coconut Clusters:

  • don't use a pan that is too large as the clusters will spread apart too much and will not be able to be broken down into chunks (if this does happen, just eat it as granola!)
  • I have only tried this recipe with raw seeds and am unsure of how they would turn out if you use roasted seeds but I think they should turn out just fine (if you make them with roasted seeds, let me know how they turn out!)
  • If you use salted seeds, omit any additional salt
  • Make sure you press the mixture down AFTER it comes out of the oven to make sure that the ingredients bind well together
  • You can always use aluminum foil to cover the pan.  Make the foil double the size of the pan and when the coconut clusters come out, fold the foil over the top of the clusters.  Use a spatula and press the mixture down firmly.  Flip the aluminum foil packet to allow for any leftover coconut oil to not pool a little on the bottom of the clusters.
  • I have only made this recipe using Lakanto Classic sweetener.  I think other erythritol based sweeteners should work as well as regular sugar
  • Store these coconut clusters in the fridge for up to 14 days or in the freezer for up to 3 months.  Since they contain coconut oil that will liquefy at room temperature, I do not suggest keeping them on the counter.
  • If you try to use coconut flakes instead of coconut chips, they may crumble more - to prevent this, allow the coconut clusters to cool completely and place them in the freezer for about 30 minutes before trying to break them into chunks

Crunchy and sweet, these easy keto coconut treats are the perfect treat.

  1. I am not sure as allulose causes baked goods to brown quickly. Also, erythritol firms when it cools and I do not believe the same thing will happen with a monk fruit allulose. Worse case if you decided to try it with your sweetener and they don't hold together, you will simply end up with a delicious granola! Keep me posted if you do try your sweetener blend!

  2. QUESTION: I have not yet made this, but wanted to know if I can substitute monkfruit allulose for Erithrytol.

  3. Omg this is TOO good! I tasted the Costco stuff and it was delicious but I'm cheap so I was like, I bet someone already has a copycat recipe! Thank you so much! My new fav snack! I sprinkled some in my chia pudding along with a little bit of chopped strawberries! So delicious! I made my clusters with shredded coconut because that's what I had, butter instead of coconut oil and almonds instead of sunflower seeds. So good!



  4. I love this recipe. I make a batch every week.



  5. Husband wanted this recipe but didn't want the seeds. So I made it substituting, sliced almonds and cacao nibs. It is yummy.

  6. I made these tonight and they are wonderful! I ordered coconut chips from Amazon and I used pecans, spouted pumpkin seeds and flax seeds. I think they are better the the commercial version. Thanks!



  7. Delicious! What's not to love about these sweet little nuggets. Thanks for another great recipe.



  8. I am sorry to hear you did not like the recipe. I don't quite know what is "gross" about coconut, nuts and sweetener. Hope you have a better day today!

  9. Thought I hit a treasure trove of keto resources but everything I've tried from your site leaves a lot to be desired. Keto coconut clusters were nothing like innofoods and frankly was gross. I'll stick to the Innofoods when I'm feeling generous with my carbs.



  10. They are great so try making this recipe so you can customize how sweet you make them! Decrease the sweetener by about 1 tbsp for a less sweet version.

  11. I haven’t made these but I did buy the Inno Foods brand when Costco had a 3.00 off deal. I love them but find I cannot eat very much at one time because of the richness! I didn’t measure and I certainly should’ve. Quite satisfying without eating the entire bag (potato chips, anyone?)

  12. AWESOME! I am going to post a new Keto Coconut Cluster recipe that has almonds and pecans like the one you can find at Costco so I will add these changes!

    THANKS AGAIN!!!

  13. When I first posted this recipe last year, Costco only carried the Super Seed Coconut Clusters. This recipe is based on the original Super Seed variety. However, since then, Costco now carries a "Keto" version which does contain nuts. I went ahead and updated my post to reflect that this recipe is a copycat version of the "Super Seed Coconut Clusters" from Innofoods and NOT the "Keto Coconut Clusters". If only I had known that they were going to make a "keto" version, I would have definitely chosen a different post title!:-) Sorry for the confusion!

  14. I do not understand how these can be called "copy cat" when Costco's Keto Coconut Cluster product has Almonds and Pecans and this recipe has neither. No nuts at all actually which is why the cost can be reduced so much, most expensive items left out.

  15. Made these today. I added an egg white and scooped it onto a baking sheet like cookies. I squeezed the mixture into the cookie scoop and flattend on the baking sheet. I flattened again on the baking sheet halfway through the baking. I baked 5 minutes longer. I did notice quite a bit of pooling from the coconut oil. I brushed the excell oil onto the cookies. I think next time I will add a tablespoon of coconut flour to absorb some of that oil. I ended up with 13 cookies, with a crispy and chewy texture.



  16. Hiya, so I admit I'm one of those people that follow recipes as a "general suggestion" lol. To answer your question, I prolly used about double the amounts (added black/white sesame seeds, almonds, walnuts) and halved the Monk fruit/erythritol sweetener. I mixed the vanilla extract and TWO egg whites together. After coating the mixture with coconut oil, I then added the egg whites/vanilla, and lastly the sweetener. Hope that helped! xoxo

  17. Awesome, just like my favorites at Costco for much less! The first time there was a little too much coconut oil on the bottom. The second time I cut back on the oil and added some chopped almonds.



  18. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU for taking the time to write such a sweet post! You have truly made my day:-)

  19. You can probably use less coconut oil and add some Sugar-free maple syrup instead. I use Lakanto Maple Syrup. Also, you could use egg whites instead of coconut oil. Let me know how they turn out!

  20. I am looking forward to making these because I love the coconut keto clusters from Costco. I am wondering though is there a way to cut the fat in the recipe. I am doing great in every other aspect of the diet but the fat area. I always tend to go over.

  21. Loved it!!! I used 1/2 ghee 1/2 butter.. doubled up .. gave some to my daughter and I’m making some for their yogurt ... ❣️❣️❣️❣️



  22. Thanks so much for taking the time to write such a nice review! Can you tell me how much egg white you use for my recipe as well as well you add it to the ingredients as I would LOVE to try it and maybe update my recipe as well!

  23. Hi Cat, thank you so much for the recipe. I now make coconut clusters at least twice a week as they do not last very long in my house lol! I make the coconut "smiles" from scratch using fresh coconut (using a vegetable peeler and toasting in oven on lowest temp possible). I also watched some YouTube videos on keto granola where egg whites were used to help bind the nuts together. I tried this with your recipe and I'm happy to report that it helps to bind the clusters together and this way, they can be left out on the counter without having to be stored in the fridge. They also end up being crispier! So glad I found your site, keep up the good work!



  24. I have not tried toasted coconut chips. They may work except that they have already been "toasted" once so watch them closely as they will probably brown/burn quicker than raw coconut chips.

  25. can you use toasted coconut chips?

  26. Thank you so much for taking the time to comment! Stay warm!:-)

  27. Very good. I added sliced almonds and chopped pecans. Used an 8x8 glass Pyrex. Pressed down 1/2 way through cooking and again when I took them out. Placed them outside to cool where it was 36* today. Cut into small squares and they are sticking together nicely. Used Lankanto granulated monk fruit sweetener and these are a little too sweet. Will cut in 1/2 next time. Thank you!



  28. YAY!!!! I am so glad we figured it out!!! PS - I sent you my email this morning!

  29. Hi Cat! Success!!! The chips made the difference. I took pictures ?. I ran out of vanilla so I used vanilla butternut. That was great but I think I prefer the vanilla. I doubled the recipe but backed off the sweetener by a tablespoon. Just our preference. Thanks again! I’m stoked to try some of your other recipes. Please email me directly if you will. I want to connect you with another chiropractor friend.

  30. PLEASE let me know how they work with coconut chips because I am trying REALLY hard to make my recipes foolproof!

  31. Thanks for the feedback Cat. I just ordered coconut chips from nuts.com to try again. I chopped up some pecans and almonds as well to add. So I guess I’ll double the recipe except for the nuts as I’m adding to not replacing. So tasty and easy. Thanks again. Cannot wait to try some of your other recipes.

  32. I just re-made these and tried using coconut flakes instead of chips and they do not work as well. The coconut flakes absorb the coconut oil, whereas the coconut chips do not. The only way they will work is if you put them in the freezer and keep them in the freezer. You can buy coconut chips on Amazon. If you end up with too many crumbs, place them in a bowl and eat them with some milk for breakfast.

  33. Hi Cat, like another post we absolutely love the flavor. Like her I used flakes as I could not find the larger shape chips. I used a smaller lined Pyrex so they would pack in tight. I pressed them after and put them in the fridge after cooling on the counter. We got some chunks, but the quickly dissolve into crumbs. Great flavor but I’d love it if they stuck together in clumps. Ideas?

  34. Did you use the right size pan? All the ingredients need to be touching so try a smaller pan next time. As for the "crumbs", you can pour some almond milk over them and it them like cereal or granola!

  35. Taste is great. I followed directions and even added chocolate chips. I pressed them down. But I still got granola not clusters.



  36. I am so glad you enjoyed this recipe! Your comment put a MASSIVE smile on my fast so I can not thank you enough for taking the time to comment! Let me know if you ever want me to "redo" any of your favourite recipes into a low carb, keto or gluten-free version!

  37. This recipe is awesome and low carbs too. Keep them coming Cat.



  38. AWESOME! Thanks so much for taking the time to comment...it means a lot to a food blogger and puts a BIG smile on my face!:-)

  39. I made these today, and they were wonderful! I looked up this recipe after purchasing the Keto Coconut Clusters at Costco and wanting a cheaper alternative. I did use roasted sunflower seeds (on accident), and they were still great. It didn't seem to matter.

  40. You can subscribe to my email list on my website or just keep checking back weekly as I post anywhere from 2-4 new recipes a week!

  41. I want to get all your recipes as we are new to keto foodstuffs and on non-sugar diets.

  42. Made these yesterday and they were absolutely delicious. I kept sneaking back and eating more! They came out great - perfect clusters.



  43. That's weird as they have always worked for me. Did you read my post and tips that say:
    - don't use a pan that is too large as the clusters will spread apart too much and will not be able to be broken down into chunks (if this does happen, just eat it as granola!)
    - Make sure you press the mixture down AFTER it comes out of the oven to make sure that the ingredients bind well together

    If they still don't work, let me know and we can troubleshoot together!

  44. I tried these the other day the I used coconut flakes rather than chips (it's all I could find). It taste good but nothing stuck together, it's all just crumbs and hard to eat.



  45. I tried these this weekend, followed directions other than I used coconut flakes rather than chips but nothing stuck together. It tastes great just hard to eat.

  46. Definitely a typo! Thanks for catching that!!!

  47. So so good. Are there really 139 grams of fat in a half cup, or is that a typo? Hoping it was meant to read 13.9 instead!



  48. I made these today and they taste better than the ones I bought at Costco!



  49. DELICIOUS!!!!



  50. You just made my day! Thanks for commenting!

  51. Sooo Good!! Used 1/2 butter and 1/2 coconut oil. Added a little vanilla. Wow. My whole family was in love.
