Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups carob chips
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil
- 1 cup almonds
- 1 cup walnuts
- 0.5 cup pumpkin seeds
- 0.25 cup shredded coconut (unsweetened)
- 0.25 teaspoon sea salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat for easy cleanup.
In a heatproof bowl, combine the carob chips and coconut oil. Melt them together using a double boiler method or in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring after each interval, until smooth and creamy.
Stir in the vanilla extract until fully incorporated into the carob mixture.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the almonds, walnuts, pumpkin seeds, shredded coconut, and sea salt. Toss to evenly distribute the ingredients.
Pour the melted carob mixture over the nut mixture and stir thoroughly to ensure all the nuts are evenly coated.
Using a tablespoon or small cookie scoop, portion out the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, forming small clusters.
Place the baking sheet in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or until the clusters have hardened and set.
Once set, transfer the Carob Nut Clusters to an airtight container and store in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.
Serve chilled or at room temperature as a healthy snack or dessert.
