The crunchy clusters are a quick homemade granola made from seeds and almonds instead of oats, bound with a little honey and egg white. They keep for a week, so breakfast takes a minute.
Why this recipe works
Egg white binds the seeds into crisp clusters without much sugar or oil. Seeds and almonds add healthy fats and extra protein.
Ingredient notes
A 3/4-cup serving of plain Greek yogurt typically contains 15 to 18 grams of protein; check your brand's label.
Common mistakes
- Spreading the mixture too thick, which keeps it chewy.
- Over-baking until bitter.
What to serve with it
A pinch of flaky salt on the clusters.
Meal prep
Clusters keep 1 week at room temperature; assemble bowls daily.

Cooking tips
Cool the clusters fully before breaking; they crisp as they cool. Store clusters in an airtight jar.
Swaps and variations
Use Icelandic skyr for even more protein. Use maple syrup.
Storing and reheating
Keep clusters airtight up to 1 week. Refrigerate yogurt.
