A dessert-leaning keto trail mix with cacao nibs, unsweetened coconut flakes, almonds, and monk fruit — chocolate satisfaction at 3g net carbs per serving.
Prep Time 5 minutes
Cook Time 5 minutes
Total Time 10 minutes

Ingredients
 
 

  • 1 cup whole almonds raw, unsalted
  • ½ cup pecan halves raw, unsalted
  • ½ cup unsweetened coconut flakes large flakes, not shredded
  • ¼ cup cacao nibs unsweetened
  • ¼ cup pumpkin seeds raw, hulled
  • 2 tablespoons monk fruit sweetener or erythritol blend
  • 1 teaspoon unsweetened cocoa powder Dutch-process preferred
  • ¼ teaspoon fine sea salt
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract pure

Equipment

  • Dry skillet or non-stick pan
  • Wooden spoon or silicone spatula
  • Airtight glass jar

Method
 

  1. Heat a dry skillet over medium heat for 1 minute. Add the almonds and pecans and toast for 3 minutes, stirring constantly.
  2. Add the pumpkin seeds and toast for 1 more minute, stirring constantly.
  3. Add the coconut flakes for the final 60 seconds — they burn quickly, so stir continuously until they just turn golden.
  4. Remove from heat. Stir in the vanilla extract immediately; it will sizzle off.
  5. Sprinkle the monk fruit sweetener, cocoa powder, and sea salt over the warm mix. Stir thoroughly so every piece picks up a thin coating.
  6. Cool completely on a sheet of parchment paper (about 10 minutes). Once cool, fold in the cacao nibs and transfer to an airtight jar.

Substitutions: Replace cacao nibs with chopped 90% dark chocolate (1 square per serving). Swap monk fruit for allulose or skip entirely for a less sweet mix.
Storage: Airtight glass jar at room temperature for up to 3 weeks. The cacao nibs may bloom slightly in heat — flavour is unaffected.
Reheating: Not needed; serve at room temperature.
