Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 2 cups rolled oats old-fashioned; not instant or steel-cut
  • 1 cup dried cranberries
  • 1 cup white chocolate chips use good-quality white chocolate for best melt and flavor
  • 1/2 cup almond butter creamy is easiest to work with
  • 1/4 cup honey or maple syrup use maple for vegan option
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • pinch salt balances sweetness

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Combine oats and dried cranberries in a large bowl. Stir and set aside.
  2. In a small saucepan over low heat, add white chocolate chips, almond butter, honey or maple syrup, vanilla, and a pinch of salt.
  3. Stir continuously until everything melts and the mixture is smooth and glossy. Keep the heat low to avoid seizing.
  4. Remove the pan from heat and immediately pour the warm mixture over the oat-cranberry mix.
  5. Fold gently with a spatula or wooden spoon until all oats are evenly coated and sticky.
  6. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  7. Use a tablespoon or small scoop to drop portions onto the sheet, spacing clusters slightly apart.
  8. Chill the baking sheet in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or until the clusters are firm.
  9. Peel clusters off the parchment and store or serve.

Notes

For alternative dietary needs, use maple syrup to make vegan, replace almond butter with sunflower seed butter to avoid tree nuts, or add seeds for texture. Store in an airtight container - 3 days at room temperature, 2 weeks in the fridge, up to 3 months in the freezer.
