  • Total Time: 15 minutes
  • Yield: 3 cups 1x

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 cup unsweetened coconut chips or large flakes
  • 1 cup raw pepitas/pumpkin seeds
  • 1/2 cup shredded unsweetened coconut
  • 1/4 cup pecans, broken into large pieces
  • 1/4 cup sliced almonds
  • 1/4 cup flax seeds (not flaxmeal)
  • 1/4 cup coconut oil
  • 3 tbsp brown sugar substitute
  • 2 tbsp sugar-free maple syrup
  • 1/4 tsp sea salt
  • 1-2 tsp pumpkin pie spice (I also added an extra dash cinnamon)
  • OPTIONAL - 1/4 tsp maple extract and 1/4 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Place an oven rack on the bottom 1/3rd of the oven and preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.   Line a 9x9 or 9x13 inch baking dish with aluminum foil and set it aside.
  2. In a large bowl, combine all coconut, nuts and seeds and toss to combine.  Mix the coconut oil, pupmkin pie spice, salt, cinnamon (if using), extracts (if using), sweetener, and sugar-free maple syrup in the microwave for about 1 minute or until it comes to a boil.  Once melted pour the coconut oil mixture over the seeds.  Stir until everything has been combined well.   
  3. Spread the mixture onto the prepared baking dish and press the mixture down lightly.  Bake in the lower 1/3rd of the preheated oven for 10-13 minutes or until the coconut just begins to brown.  Remove from the oven and press the mixture down again, using a spatula (be careful as the mixture will be VERY hot).
  4. Allow the coconut clusters to cool completely and then place them in the fridge for an additional 1 hour or the freezer for 30 minutes before breaking into clusters.

Notes

  • my house is warm so I keep these stored in the fridge or freezer
  • add cinnamon or other spices to suit your tastes
  • feel free to switch out the ingredients but make sure to keep the coconut flakes the same amount otherwise you may not be able to break these into clusters
