Sure, here’s a simple recipe for coconut clusters:
Ingredients:
- 2 cups shredded coconut (unsweetened)
- 1/2 cup maple syrup or honey
- 1/4 cup coconut oil (or butter)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt (optional)
Instructions:
- Preheat oven: Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
- Mix ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded coconut, maple syrup or honey, melted coconut oil or butter, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt (if using). Stir until well combined.
- Form clusters: Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of the coconut mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each cluster.
- Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the coconut clusters are golden brown around the edges.
- Cool: Allow the coconut clusters to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. They will firm up as they cool.
- Enjoy: Once completely cooled, your coconut clusters are ready to enjoy! Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
Feel free to customize this recipe by adding nuts, dried fruit, or chocolate chips to the mixture before baking. Enjoy!
