For the past few years, I’ve been a little obsessed with the keto coconut clusters from Costco. But they are not always available, they are expensive, and I don’t like that the ingredients contain cane sugar and brown rice syrup (not really keto!). So, I created my own homemade coconut keto clusters, using a secret ingredient. This snack combines all the best parts of keto macaroons and keto granola into one crispy, sweet, and satisfying bite. They have quickly become one of my new favorite keto snacks!

Keto Clusters Variations
Keto Nut Clusters – Substitute chopped keto nuts (such as almonds or pecans) for an equivalent amount of seeds.Keto Chocolate Coconut Clusters – Gently melt sugar-free chocolate chips and drizzle over the top of each serving. I recommend making keto dark chocolate coconut clusters, but milk and white varieties would work too!Swap Seeds – Use an equivalent amount of any seeds you prefer, as long as they’re similar in size. For instance, use more pumpkin seeds in place of sunflower seeds, or replace chia seeds with other small varieties like hemp, sesame, or flax.Add Dried Fruit – Add chopped freeze-dried keto fruit to the mix, or a sprinkle of sugar-free dried cranberries.Sprinkle With Spices – Add up to 1 teaspoon total of spices like cinnamon, turmeric, cardamom, or homemade pumpkin pie spice to dry ingredients.
