Ingredients
  

  • Greek yogurt (plain or vanilla; whole milk for creaminess)
  • Honey (use good quality for better flavor)
  • Mixed nuts (almonds, walnuts, pecans, or cashews), roughly chopped
  • Rolled oats or low-sugar granola
  • Crunchy cereal (like corn flakes or bran flakes), lightly crushed
  • Chia seeds or flaxseed (optional, for texture and nutrition)
  • Vanilla extract (optional, if using plain yogurt)
  • Pinch of salt (to balance sweetness)
  • Dark chocolate chips or bar (optional, for melting and drizzling)
  • Fresh fruit like blueberries or chopped strawberries (optional, use sparingly)
  • Coconut flakes (optional, unsweetened)
  • Nonstick spray or parchment paper for lining

Method
 

  1. Prep your tray. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat. This keeps the clusters from sticking and makes cleanup easy.
  2. Mix the base. In a bowl, combine Greek yogurt with honey and a splash of vanilla extract. Stir until smooth. Aim for a slightly sweet mixture—remember the toppings add flavor too.
  3. Add the crunch. Fold in chopped nuts, rolled oats or granola, crushed cereal, and a pinch of salt. If using chia seeds or flaxseed, add them now. The mixture should be thick enough to hold a scoop shape.
  4. Optional fruit. If adding fruit, use small pieces and pat them dry first. Too much moisture can make the clusters icy in the freezer.
  5. Scoop into clusters. Use a spoon or small cookie scoop to drop mounds onto the lined tray. Keep them bite-sized or two-bite sized for easier snacking.
  6. Chocolate drizzle (optional). Melt dark chocolate in short bursts in the microwave, stirring between intervals. Drizzle over the clusters for a glossy finish.
  7. Freeze to set. Place the tray in the freezer for 1–2 hours, until completely firm. This helps the clusters hold their shape and gives them that ice cream bar vibe.
  8. Store for later. Transfer the frozen clusters to an airtight container or freezer bag. Layer with parchment if stacking to prevent sticking.
  9. Serve. Enjoy straight from the freezer, or let them sit at room temperature for 3–5 minutes to soften slightly.
