Vegan Coconut Energy Clusters with Aquafaba

Published on by thesavvypantry1 Comment

Hi Savvys,

Having healthy snacks around the house for me is key to ensuring we don’t buy junk food impulsively.  I created this recipe after seeing so many people rave about the Costco coconut clusters and knew I wanted to try making it for myself.  I’ve never tried the Costco version, but I’m sure mine stands up to it well!

This recipe uses aquafaba (a.k.a bean water) as a binder along with chia seeds.  I always have an abundance of aquafaba in the freezer from when I cook dried chickpeas, so I make a conscious effort to try to use it up.

These clusters are a perfect road trip snack and stays crunchy for days (if they last that long)!

I hope you enjoy this recipe as much as I do!

Now set forth and be savvy!
