Ingredients
  

1 cup creamy natural peanut butter

1/2 cup honey or maple syrup

2 cups rolled old-fashioned oats

1/2 cup mini chocolate chips (optional for sweetness)

1/4 cup unsweetened shredded coconut (optional for texture)

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

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

A pinch of salt

Instructions
 

Prepare the Mixture: In a spacious mixing bowl, combine the creamy natural peanut butter with honey (or maple syrup). Using a spatula, mix them thoroughly until the texture is smooth and well blended.

    Add Flavor and Texture: Incorporate the vanilla extract and a pinch of salt into the peanut butter mixture. Stir well. If desired, fold in the mini chocolate chips, shredded coconut, and chopped nuts to enhance the flavor and texture of your clusters.

      Incorporate the Oats: Gradually add the rolled oats to the peanut butter mixture. Use a spatula to fold the oats in, ensuring each oat is evenly coated. The mixture should be thick and sticky.

        Shape the Clusters: Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper. Using a tablespoon or a small cookie scoop, drop spoonfuls of the mixture onto the lined baking sheet. Make sure to space each cluster a couple of inches apart for even freezing.

          Freeze: Carefully place the baking sheet in the freezer. Allow the clusters to freeze for about 1-2 hours or until they are firm and completely frozen.

            Store and Enjoy: Once frozen solid, transfer the clusters to an airtight container or a freezer-safe bag. You can store them in the freezer for up to 3 months. Grab these delightful clusters straight from the freezer for an easy snack or a healthy treat anytime!
