Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups of Oats (rolled)

Directions
These healthy oat clusters are packed with nutrients. Lucuma is not only a natural sweetener that will make your desserts healthier, but it is also rich in insoluble fiber, vitamins, and minerals, particularly vitamin B3 (niacin) and iron. Peanuts, on the other hand, are an excellent source of vegetable protein and healthy fats, whereas oats are heart healthy and improve digestion. Combining these nutritious foods in a vegan oat clusters recipe and enhancing them with chocolate chips is a delicious idea for boosting your energy levels during a busy day or after a workout.
