• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions

Step 1

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat for easy cleanup.

Step 2

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.

Step 3

Stir in the vanilla extract until fully incorporated into the carob mixture.

Step 4

In a large mixing bowl, combine the almonds, walnuts, pumpkin seeds, shredded coconut, and sea salt. Toss to evenly distribute the ingredients.

Step 5

Pour the melted carob mixture over the nut mixture and stir thoroughly to ensure all the nuts are evenly coated.

Step 6

Using a tablespoon or small cookie scoop, portion out the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, forming small clusters.

Step 7

Place the baking sheet in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or until the clusters have hardened and set.

Step 8

Once set, transfer the Carob Nut Clusters to an airtight container and store in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.

Step 9

Serve chilled or at room temperature as a healthy snack or dessert.
