Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups rolled oats
  • 1 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
  • 3 tablespoons chia seeds
  • ½ cup almond butter
  • ⅓ cup honey or maple syrup or low-carb sweetener for keto version
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt
Optional: chocolate chips, cacao nibs, or chopped nuts

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 325°F (160°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Mix the dry ingredients: In a large bowl, combine rolled oats, shredded coconut, chia seeds, and salt.
  3. Prepare wet mixture: Warm almond butter slightly to make it easier to mix. Stir in honey (or sweetener) and vanilla extract.
  4. Combine wet and dry ingredients: Pour the almond butter mixture over the oat mixture. Stir well until everything is evenly coated and sticky.
  5. Form clusters: Spread the mixture on the baking sheet in small clumps. Press lightly to help them stick together.
  6. Bake for 15–20 minutes or until golden brown. Watch closely to avoid burning the coconut.
  7. Cool completely: Let the clusters cool on the baking sheet. They will harden and become crunchy.
  8. Serve or store: Enjoy immediately or store in an airtight container for later.

Notes

  • Make sure to press the clusters firmly before baking—they hold together better.
  • Keep an eye on the oven; coconut browns fast.
  • You can swap honey for a low-carb sweetener if you want keto-friendly clusters.
  • Sprinkle chocolate chips or nuts after baking if you want extra flavor.
  • Store cooled clusters in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week, or in the fridge for up to two weeks.
