Ingredients
  

2 cups rolled oats

1 cup mixed nuts (almonds, walnuts, pecans), chopped

1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder

1/4 cup honey or maple syrup

1/4 cup coconut oil, melted

1/2 cup brewed espresso or strong coffee, cooled

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/2 teaspoon sea salt

1 cup Greek yogurt (plain or vanilla)

1/2 cup dark chocolate chips

1/4 cup finely chopped dark chocolate or chocolate-covered espresso beans (optional for added crunch)

Instructions
 

Prep the Granola Mixture: In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, chopped nuts, cocoa powder, and sea salt. Stir until well mixed.

    Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the honey or maple syrup, melted coconut oil, brewed espresso, and vanilla extract until smooth.

      Mix It Up: Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until everything is evenly coated.

        Shape Clusters: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Using your hands or a spoon, form small clusters of the granola mixture and place them on the baking sheet. Space them apart as they will expand slightly.

          Freeze the Clusters: Place the baking sheet in the freezer and let the clusters freeze for about 1-2 hours, or until they are solid.

            Yogurt Coating: While the clusters freeze, place the Greek yogurt in a bowl. If you'd like to sweeten it, add a drizzle of honey or maple syrup to taste.

              Coat and Freeze Again: Once the clusters are frozen, take them out of the freezer. Dip each cluster into the yogurt, ensuring they are fully coated. Then return the yogurt-coated clusters to the baking sheet.

                Final Freeze: Return the baking sheet to the freezer and allow the yogurt-coated granola clusters to freeze for another 1-2 hours.

                  Add Chocolate (optional): If using, melt the dark chocolate. Drizzle melted chocolate over the frozen yogurt-coated clusters and sprinkle with finely chopped dark chocolate or espresso beans for extra crunch.

                    Store and Serve: Once set, transfer the clusters to an airtight container. Store them in the freezer for a quick, healthy snack!
