Ingredients
  

2 cups plain Greek yogurt (full-fat for creaminess)

1/2 cup pure maple syrup

1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1 cup walnuts, chopped (toasted for extra flavor)

1/2 cup dark chocolate chips (optional, for drizzling)

A pinch of sea salt

Instructions
 

Prepare the Yogurt Mixture: In a large mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and ground cinnamon. Whisk until smooth and well-blended.

    Toast the Walnuts: Preheat a skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped walnuts and toast them for about 5-7 minutes, stirring frequently until golden and fragrant. Remove from heat and let them cool.

      Fold in the Walnuts: Once the walnuts have cooled, gently fold them into the yogurt mixture, ensuring even distribution.

        Form the Clusters: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Using a tablespoon, scoop out small clusters of the yogurt-walnut mixture and place them onto the prepared baking sheet. Repeat until all the mixture is used.

          Drizzle with Chocolate (Optional): If using chocolate, melt the chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth. Drizzle the melted chocolate over the yogurt clusters for an added touch of sweetness.

            Freeze: Place the baking sheet in the freezer and let the clusters freeze for at least 2-3 hours, or until completely solid.

              Serve and Enjoy: Once frozen, remove the clusters from the baking sheet and store them in an airtight container in the freezer. Enjoy them as a delicious and healthy snack frozen!
