Ingredients & Substitutions

Here is everything you need to make the best homemade yogurt clusters recipe:

Banana: You can substitute the banana with sliced strawberries or blueberries for a fruity twist, or use frozen banana chunks for a slightly different texture.

Greek Yogurt: Swap with plain coconut yogurt or almond yogurt for a dairy-free version.

Natural Unsweetened Peanut Butter: Almond butter, cashew butter, or sunflower seed butter are great alternatives. Just make sure they’re unsweetened for the same balanced flavor.

Honey: Replace honey with maple syrup, agave syrup, or a few drops of stevia for a lower sugar option.

Vanilla: If you’re out of vanilla extract, you can use almond extract or leave it out entirely for a more straightforward flavor.

Salt: If you don’t have regular salt, coarse sea salt or pink Himalayan salt will work beautifully. Just adjust the amount to your taste.

Chocolate Chips: Use dairy-free chocolate chips or dark chocolate chunks for a more intense chocolate flavor. You could even use white chocolate for a sweeter version.

Coconut Oil: Butter or ghee can be substituted if you don’t have coconut oil, or omit it entirely if you’re using a high-quality melting chocolate.

Peanuts: Swap with chopped almonds, walnuts, or even crushed pretzels for a salty crunch!

Refrigerate: After making the peanut butter banana yogurt clusters, store them in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 1 week. They are best enjoyed cold straight from the freezer.

Separate layers: If you’re stacking the clusters in a container, use parchment paper between layers to prevent sticking.

Thawing: If they’ve been frozen for a long time and are too hard to eat, let them sit at room temperature for about 5-10 minutes to soften slightly.

Can I make these clusters dairy-free?
Absolutely! You can substitute the Greek yogurt with coconut or almond yogurt, and use dairy-free chocolate chips.

Can I use a different nut butter?
Yes, almond butter, cashew butter, or sunflower seed butter work perfectly. Just make sure they are unsweetened for the right flavor balance.

How long do these clusters take to freeze?
They typically take around 2 hours to fully set in the freezer, but if you’re in a hurry, you could check them after about 90 minutes.

Can I use frozen bananas instead of fresh?
Yes, frozen bananas will work, but they might make the mixture a little thicker and colder to handle while assembling the clusters.

How should I store leftover clusters?
Store them in the freezer in an airtight container. They stay fresh for up to 1 week and make for a great on-the-go snack!
