Achieving a smooth and creamy mixture is fundamental to the success of your Frozen Yogurt Mocha Granola Clusters. Start by whisking the wet ingredients—Greek yogurt, brewed coffee, honey, and vanilla extract—together in a mixing bowl. To ensure a lump-free consistency, utilize a balloon whisk or a fork. Whisk in a circular motion, gradually incorporating air into the mixture. This not only enhances the mixture's texture but also helps to evenly distribute the flavors. If you notice any lumps, don’t hesitate to whisk a bit longer; a smooth base is crucial for coating the dry ingredients effectively.

Ingredients
  

2 cups rolled oats

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

1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder

1/2 cup maple syrup or honey

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/2 cup brewed coffee, cooled

1 cup Greek yogurt (plain or vanilla)

1/4 cup chocolate chips (dark or semi-sweet)

1/4 cup mini marshmallows (optional)

Instructions
 

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

    Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine rolled oats, chopped nuts, cocoa powder, and salt. Stir well to ensure an even distribution of the cocoa.

      Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together maple syrup (or honey), vanilla extract, and cooled brewed coffee until fully combined.

        Combine Mixtures: Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until all the oats and nuts are evenly coated.

          Bake the Mixture: Spread the granola mixture evenly on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown. Stir halfway through the baking to ensure an even bake.

            Cool the Granola: Remove from the oven and allow it to cool completely on the baking sheet. The mixture will harden as it cools.

              Form Clusters with Yogurt: Once cooled, break the granola into clusters and place them in a mixing bowl.

                Add Yogurt: Gently fold in the Greek yogurt until the clusters are well coated. Note that the mixture may be a bit sticky; that's okay!

                  Add Chocolate Chips and Marshmallows: Fold in the chocolate chips and mini marshmallows, if using, for a delightful texture and flavor boost.

                    Freeze the Clusters: Spoon dollops of the mixture onto a parchment-lined baking sheet or into silicone molds. Smooth them out slightly to form cluster shapes. Freeze for about 2-3 hours or until solid.

                      Store and Enjoy: Once frozen, transfer the clusters into an airtight container and store in the freezer. Enjoy as a refreshing snack straight from the freezer!
