Ingredients

• 2 cups Mixed nuts (almonds, cashews, pecans, or others of your choice)
• 1 cup Rolled oats
• 1.5 cups Dark or milk chocolate chips
• 2 tablespoons Coconut oil
• 2 tablespoons Honey or maple syrup
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.5 teaspoon Sea salt (for sprinkling)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

Spread the mixed nuts and rolled oats evenly on the prepared baking sheet. Toast them in the oven for 5-7 minutes, or until fragrant and lightly golden. Set aside to cool.

Step 3

In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the chocolate chips and coconut oil. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until fully melted and smooth (or melt using a double boiler on the stovetop).

Step 4

Stir the honey or maple syrup and vanilla extract into the melted chocolate mixture until well combined.

Step 5

In a large mixing bowl, combine the toasted nuts and oats. Pour the melted chocolate mixture over the top and gently fold to coat all the ingredients evenly.

Step 6

Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, drop clusters of the mixture onto a new sheet of parchment paper. Sprinkle a tiny pinch of sea salt over each cluster while the chocolate is still wet.

Step 7

Let the clusters set at room temperature for 2-3 hours, or place them in the refrigerator for 30-40 minutes to speed up the process.

Step 8

Once the clusters are firm, transfer them to an airtight container for storage. They can be kept at room temperature for up to 1 week or refrigerated for up to 2 weeks.
