Keto coconut clusters are an amazingly delicious keto-friendly snack that is crunchy, dairy free and lightly sweetened. It’s the perfect afternoon snack.
The only problem with Costco coconut clusters is they are FULL of sugar! Most of the coconut clusters from Costco use simple ingredients (you can also get these from Woolworths as well).
This keto coconut clusters recipe is going to show you how to replace the sugar and keep it keto-friendly!

Keto Coconut Clusters Ingredients
Coconut Flakes: I used the unsweetened variety from Woolworths. They are raw and have loads of healthy fibre. Use any unsweetened raw coconut flakes you can find at your local grocery store. Unfortunately, pre-toasted flakes won’t work for this recipe.
Pepitas: Otherwise known as pumpkin seeds, I used the raw pepitas you can generally find in the baking section of your local grocery store.
Sunflower Seeds: Sunflower seeds are actually a great way to boost healthy hormones (especially for women). These are also the raw sunflower seeds that you can find in the baking section of your local store.
Chia Seeds: You can either use black or white chia seeds.
Sweetener Of Choice: I used lakanto maple syrup which is sugar-free, but you can use 3 tablespoons of whatever sweetener you like. Powdered erythritol would work, also 5-10 drops of liquid stevia would work as well.
Instructions
- Preheat your convection oven to 180C
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine all of the ingredients and mix until the egg white has coated the mixture well.
- Using a tablespoon, place keto coconut clusters onto a baking tray lined with partchment paper.
- Place into the oven for 12-14 minutes, or until the edges are a light golden brown (be careful not to burn them)
- Remove keto coconut clusters from the oven and allow to cool.
- Store once completely dry and cool in an air tight container in the cupboard. Will last for up to 7 days. (These are best eaten fresh, so maybe make as many as you think you’ll want for the day, and bake the rest later).
Frequently Asked Questions
What sweetener can I use?
I used lakanto maple syrup which is sugar-free, but you can use 3 tablespoons of whatever sweetener you like. Powdered erythritol would work, also 5-10 drops of liquid stevia would work as well
Can I replace the pepitas or sunflower seeds in these keto coconut clusters?
You certainly can! I’d suggest using whatever nuts you have. Almonds and sesame seeds could be a great alternative.
Do I need to add chia seeds?
Chia seeds aren’t 100% necessary, but they do provide a nice flavour and texture. Feel free to leave them out if you don’t have any.
What If I only have a conventional oven?
I would cook these at 10F higher. The recipe calls for 180C (350F), so instead you would use 200C (400F) for a conventional oven (no fan).
Storage Tips
Store the keto coconut clusters once completely dry and cool in an air tight container in the cupboard. Will last for up to 7 days. (These are best eaten fresh, so maybe make as many as you think you’ll want for the day, and bake the rest later).
Helpful Tip
Be careful not to burn them, be sure to watch your oven temperature, and take them out early if they look cooked before the time allocated.

I made this recipe as I have bought the Costco brand many times. In fact I made the recipe twice. Each time it does NOT crisp up. It stays soggy. I have a friend that tried it and the same results with her. We could not bake it any longer or it would have burnt. Flavor is good, but soggy

Interesting! I didn’t find this but could be the result of too much liquid I’m assuming. For those who are experiencing similar issues, I’d suggest using 1/2 egg white total.

Did you put the oven at 180. I made that mistake. That’s Celsius. It should be at 350F
