Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 2 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
- 1 cup dried cranberries
Wet Ingredients
- 1 cup white chocolate chips or chopped white chocolate
- ¼ cup honey or maple syrup
- ¼ cup creamy peanut butter or almond butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Combine dry ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats and dried cranberries, ensuring they are evenly mixed for a balanced texture.
- Melt wet ingredients: In a microwave-safe bowl or over low heat in a saucepan, gently heat the white chocolate, honey, and nut butter together in 20–30 second intervals, stirring continuously until the mixture is smooth and fully melted.
- Add flavorings: Remove the warm melted mixture from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract and a pinch of salt to enhance the flavor profile.
- Mix and coat: Pour the warm chocolate-nut butter mixture over the oat-cranberry mixture and stir thoroughly until all the dry ingredients are well coated and combined.
- Form clusters: Allow the mixture to cool slightly so it thickens slightly, then use a spoon or cookie scoop to form small clusters and place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Chill and set: Refrigerate the clusters for at least 30 minutes until they are firm and set.
- Store properly: Once set, store the oat clusters in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week to maintain freshness.
Notes
- You can add chopped nuts, shredded coconut, or mini chocolate chips for extra texture and flavor.
- If the mixture feels too dry, add more melted white chocolate or nut butter to achieve the desired consistency.
