These chocolate nutty clusters from Anke’s Fit Bakery are gluten and guilt free. Anke’s protein-packed bites are fun for the beach – or to sneak into the movie theater instead of buying processed snacks, just don’t tell them we told you to! 😉

Ingredients:

• 1/2 cup chopped almonds
• 1 cup chopped walnuts
• 1/2 cup dry roasted or raw peanuts (unsalted)
• 1/2 cup chopped cashews
• 1/2 cup sunflower seeds
• (or any mixture of nuts you like – 3 cups total)
• 2/3 cup Sucanat
• 2 egg whites
• 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon

Preheat oven to 315 degrees (convection setting if available). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper & lightly spray with non stick spray.

Place all ingredients (except the nuts) in one bowl and mix with a spoon until well-combined. Add nuts to the mixture and stir until all nuts are covered.

With a teaspoon, drop the nut mixture in clusters on the baking sheets. Place in the oven and bake for about 20 min. Let the clusters cool on the baking sheets and place in a airtight container once cool. Share if you can!

One Healthy Breakdown: these nutty clusters beat movie theater snacks ANY day!
