What are in these coconut clusters?

These clusters are super simple to make and are made using only 6 ingredients!

Coconut Flakes

Almonds – I used Daily Crunch’s Coffee Soaked Sprouted Almonds in this recipe. They add such a great flavor and unique crunch! You can check them out here.

Pumpkin Seeds – Raw or salted works.

Chia Seeds

Maple Syrup – I haven’t tried this recipe using any other kind of liquid sweetener. If you do try a substitute, it may not yield the same result as using maple syrup.

Almond Extract – Almond extract is a delicious addition to this recipe. If you don’t have almond extract, vanilla extract works as well, or you can just omit completely.

How do you make coconut almond clusters?

This recipe is very simple and just about anybody can make it. Here’s what you’ve got to do:

Start by preheating your oven to 350° F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.

Add all of the dry ingredients to a mixing bowl and mix until everything is combined.

Next, add in your maple syrup and almond extract. Stir together, making sure everything is nice and incorporated.

Place mixture onto baking sheet. Taking a spatula, firmly press mixture into the pan. You want to have a nice, thin layer of mixture. Having a thicker layer will result it it not crisping up all the way, especially in the middle. You can also divide the mixture into half on the baking sheet to allow for more area to get crisp.

Bake for about 15-20 minutes. You are going to want to keep an eye on these clusters as they will burn FAST. You want to take them out when they are a nice golden brown.

Let cool completely before doing anything to them. This allows for the maple syrup to harden, keeping everything together and giving you that nice cluster. Once cooled, you can break them apart into desired sized pieces.

Store in an airtight container and enjoy!
