Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
- In a large bowl, combine rolled oats, shredded coconut, honey or maple syrup, melted coconut oil, vanilla extract, and salt.
- Mix until all ingredients are well-coated and combined.
- Let the mixture sit for about 10 minutes, allowing it to firm up slightly.
Cooking
- Spread the oat mixture evenly on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, stirring halfway through until golden brown.
- Remove from the oven and let the mixture cool completely.
- While cooling, prepare the Greek yogurt coating by combining yogurt, fresh blueberries, and honey in a bowl.
Assembly
- Once the oat mixture is cool, break it into clusters.
- Dip each cluster into the Greek yogurt mixture until well-coated.
- Place the yogurt-coated clusters back onto the parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Freeze for about 30 minutes to set the yogurt coating.
- Once set, serve immediately or store for later enjoyment!
Notes
For a crunchier texture, bake the clusters a little longer, but watch closely to avoid burning. Store clusters in an airtight container to keep them crispy longer.
