Low Carb Coconut Clusters
Health Highlights
Great as a snack, as a breakfast cereal or on top of plain yogurt like granola!

Ingredients


1 1/2 cup Coconut flakes, unsweetened
1/2 cup Pumpkin seeds (pepitas)
1/2 cup Sunflower seeds
2 tbsp Chia seeds
1/4 cup hulled Hemp seeds, shelled
3 tbsp Swerve Sweetener, confectioners (add more if desired)
2 drop(s) Stevia sweetener, liquid (optional)
1 pinch Salt
2 tbsp Coconut oil (melted)
1 tsp Vanilla extract, pure
3 tbsp Collagen peptides (optional)

Instructions


  1. Preheat oven to 350.
  2. Mix first 5 ingredients in a bowl.
  3. Add coconut oil and vanilla and mix well.
  4. Add optional cacao nibs.
  5. Spread onto parchment lined baking sheet. 
  6. Bake until coconut is golden brown. It happens quickly so every couple of minutes, check and stir.
  7. After this cools, break it up into chunks (if you used the collagen) or simply put into a jar.
  8. Store in the fridge or freezer.

Notes:

The collagen is optional but it binds the mixture so that you end up with chunks. Otherwise, it's more like granola or cereal.

You can also bake this in a square pan lined with parchment, and cut into bars. You must use the collagen in order to make it 'stick together'.

Each serving is about 1/2 cup each.
