Ingredients
  

For the clusters
  • 1 cup plain Greek yogurt (full-fat or low-fat) Full-fat for creamier clusters, or low-fat for a lighter version.
  • 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup Adjust to taste for a healthier option.
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract Adds warm, familiar depth.
  • 1 cup freeze-dried strawberries, crushed For intense strawberry flavor without extra moisture.
  • 1 cup dark chocolate chips or chopped chocolate bar 70 percent cocoa for a bittersweet balance.
  • 1/2 cup rolled oats or puffed quinoa Oats are more comforting; puffed quinoa is lighter.
  • 1 pinch sea salt To lift flavors.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set out two bowls - one for mixing and one for melting chocolate.
  2. In a bowl, whisk the Greek yogurt, honey, and vanilla until smooth. Stir in the crushed freeze-dried strawberries and a pinch of sea salt.
  3. In a separate bowl, combine the oats or puffed quinoa with the strawberry-yogurt mixture, and fold gently until everything is evenly coated.
  4. Melt the dark chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl in 20-second bursts, stirring between each, until glossy and smooth.
  5. Fold about two-thirds of the melted chocolate into the yogurt-oat mixture; save the remaining chocolate for drizzling.
  6. Using a tablespoon, scoop mounds onto the parchment-lined sheet and press gently to shape them into clusters.
  7. Drizzle the reserved melted chocolate over the tops and sprinkle with extra crushed freeze-dried strawberries.
  8. Chill in the refrigerator for 15–30 minutes until the chocolate sets before serving slightly chilled or at cool room temperature.

Notes

Keep clusters refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 5 days. For longer storage, freeze for up to 2 months.
