Ingredients
  

2 cups rolled oats

1/2 cup almond butter (or any nut butter of your choice)

1/3 cup honey (or maple syrup for a vegan option)

1/4 cup unsweetened shredded coconut

1/2 cup mini chocolate chips (or chopped dark chocolate if preferred)

1/4 cup chopped nuts (choose from almonds, pecans, or walnuts)

1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt

Instructions
 

In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, shredded coconut, mini chocolate chips, and chopped nuts. Stir the ingredients together until they are uniformly mixed, ensuring even distribution of flavors and textures.

    In a separate smaller bowl, thoroughly whisk together the almond butter, honey (or maple syrup), vanilla extract, and salt until the mixture is smooth and creamy. This will create a well-blended binder for the clusters.

      Pour the wet mixture over the dry ingredients in the large bowl. Using a spatula or wooden spoon, gently mix everything together. Continue stirring until the oats, nuts, and chocolate are all well-coated with the almond butter mixture.

        Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper. Using a tablespoon, scoop out portions of the mixture and space them evenly on the sheet. Gently press each mound together to ensure they hold their shape as they set.

          Once you have portioned out all the mixture, place the baking sheet in the refrigerator. Allow the clusters to chill for at least 30 minutes, giving them the time needed to firm up and develop their chewy texture.

            After chilling, your no-bake oat clusters are ready to be enjoyed! They serve as a delightful snack or a convenient grab-and-go breakfast option. For storage, keep any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for optimal freshness.
