Ingredients
  

2 cups rolled oats

1/2 cup natural peanut butter (choose either smooth or crunchy based on your preference)

1 cup plain Greek yogurt

1/4 cup honey or maple syrup (for a sweet flavor)

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (for enhanced flavor)

1/4 cup dark chocolate chips (optional, for a decadent touch)

1/4 cup chopped nuts (such as walnuts or almonds, optional for added crunch)

Pinch of salt (to balance sweetness)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Oat Mixture: In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, peanut butter, Greek yogurt, honey or maple syrup, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Use a spatula or a sturdy spoon to mix these ingredients thoroughly until they form a cohesive, sticky mixture.

    Incorporate Additional Ingredients: If you're opting for a richer flavor and texture, gently fold in the dark chocolate chips and chopped nuts. This extra step will add delightful bursts of flavor and crunch to your clusters.

      Shape and Form the Clusters: Using a tablespoon or a small cookie scoop, portion out the oat mixture onto a parchment-lined baking sheet. With the back of the scoop or spoon, gently press down each portion to form distinct clusters, ensuring they hold their shape.

        Freeze the Clusters: Carefully place the baking sheet in the freezer. Allow the clusters to freeze for a minimum of 2 hours or until they are solid and firm to the touch.

          Store and Serve: After freezing, transfer the clusters into an airtight container or zip-lock bag for easy storage. Keep them in the freezer until you're ready for a cool snack.

            Enjoy: These frozen oat clusters can be enjoyed right from the freezer. They make an excellent on-the-go snack or a healthy dessert option anytime you crave something sweet!
