Ingredients
  

2 cups plain Greek yogurt

1/4 cup pure maple syrup (adjust sweetness to your preference)

1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

1 cup walnuts, coarsely chopped

1/2 cup mini chocolate chips (optional for added sweetness)

1/4 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional for warmth)

Cooking spray or parchment paper (for lining your baking sheet)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Base: In a large mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and salt. Use a whisk or spatula to stir the mixture until it is completely smooth and well combined. If you enjoy warm notes, sprinkle in the cinnamon and mix it in thoroughly.

    Add in the Goodness: Next, gently fold in the coarsely chopped walnuts and mini chocolate chips (if you're opting for this delicious addition), ensuring that they are evenly distributed throughout the yogurt mixture for a delightful crunch in each bite.

      Shape the Clusters: Line a baking sheet or a tray with parchment paper for easy clean-up, or lightly coat it with cooking spray. Utilizing a tablespoon, drop generous spoonfuls of the yogurt mixture onto the lined sheet, forming small, rounded clusters that will hold their shape when frozen.

        Freeze the Clusters: Carefully place the baking sheet in the freezer. Allow the clusters to freeze for at least 2-3 hours, or until they are completely firm and frozen through.

          Serve and Enjoy: Once frozen, remove the clusters from the tray. Feel free to transfer them to an airtight container for storage; they will keep well in the freezer for up to one month. These bite-sized delights can be enjoyed straight from the freezer for a refreshing treat any time!
