Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Rolled oats
- 0.5 cup Chopped almonds
- 0.5 cup Shredded unsweetened coconut
- 0.5 cup Maple syrup
- 0.25 cup Peanut butter (or almond butter)
- 2 tablespoons Coconut oil
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 cup Mini chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, stir together the rolled oats, chopped almonds, shredded coconut, ground cinnamon, and salt.
In a small saucepan, combine the maple syrup, peanut butter, and coconut oil. Heat over low heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture is smooth and well combined. Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
Pour the warm maple syrup mixture over the dry ingredients in the bowl. Mix thoroughly until all the oats and nuts are evenly coated.
Use a spoon or your hands to form small clusters from the mixture, placing them on the prepared baking sheet. Press the clusters gently to help them stick together.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the clusters are golden brown, stirring once halfway through to ensure even baking.
Remove the clusters from the oven and let them cool completely on the baking sheet. They will firm up as they cool.
Optional: Once cooled, sprinkle mini chocolate chips over the clusters for an extra touch of sweetness.
Store the clusters in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week or in the fridge for up to 2 weeks.
