Keto-Friendly Coconut and Almond Clusters

These keto-friendly coconut and almond clusters are the perfect low-carb snack. They're made with just a few simple ingredients and are easy to make. The clusters are crispy on the outside and chewy on the inside, and they're packed with flavor. They're also a great source of fiber and healthy fats.

I first came up with this recipe when I was looking for a healthy and satisfying keto-friendly snack. I had some unsweetened shredded coconut and sliced almonds on hand, and I thought I'd try combining them with some sugar-free chocolate chips. I also added a little bit of melted coconut oil and vanilla extract for flavor. The resulting clusters were so delicious that I knew I had to share them with the world.

Ingredients

• 1 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
• 1 cup sliced almonds
• 1/2 cup sugar-free chocolate chips
• 1/4 cup melted coconut oil

• Pinch of salt

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
2. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
3. In a medium bowl, combine the coconut, almonds, chocolate chips, coconut oil, vanilla extract, and salt.
4. Stir until well combined.
5. Drop the mixture by rounded tablespoons onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
6. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the clusters are golden brown and toasted.

Why It Works

• The combination of coconut, almonds, and chocolate chips creates a delicious and satisfying snack.
• The coconut oil adds a rich flavor and helps to hold the clusters together.
• The vanilla extract adds a touch of sweetness and complexity.
• Baking the clusters at a low temperature helps to ensure that they're crispy on the outside and chewy on the inside.
