In a medium mixing bowl, combine the natural peanut butter and honey (or maple syrup). Stir until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
Add the vanilla protein powder to the peanut butter mixture and mix thoroughly until a dough forms. The mixture should be thick but still sticky.
Stir in the rolled oats, chia seeds, and unsweetened shredded coconut. Mix until all ingredients are well incorporated and evenly distributed.
Fold in the dairy-free chocolate chips until they are evenly spread throughout the mixture.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, scoop out small portions of the mixture and place them onto the prepared baking sheet. Form clusters by gently pressing together the mixture with your fingers or a spoon. Aim for bite-sized clusters for easy snacking.
Once all clusters are formed, place the baking sheet in the refrigerator for at least one hour to allow the clusters to set.
After the clusters have set, transfer them to an airtight container for storage. Keep them refrigerated for optimal freshness and texture.
Enjoy your dairy-free protein peanut butter clusters as a nutritious snack or post-workout boost!
