I’ve always enjoyed Honey Bunches of Oats with Almonds, just ask my mom. It was my cereal of choice in high school! So while I enjoy a big bowl of this cereal in the morning, I also love adding it to different recipes like these protein clusters. The Honey Roasted Honey Bunches of Oats really make the protein clusters above delicious. And I am LOVING the new Honey Bunches of Oats Gluten Free Chocolate. Oh my goodness, add chocolate to my favorite cereal and I am in heaven!
You can get all the ingredients for the above recipe, as well as all of these delicious cereal choices at Walmart! You can also get the new Honey Bunches of Oats Crunch O’s or the Kung Fu Panda Po Power Crunch!
Well my mouth is watering, Jessica! Yum! What a clever, simple, and delicious recipe. Pinning for future use for sure.

Those protein clusters look so healthy. I like the fact that they are so easy to make and you don’t have to bake them. And how creative to roll the in Honey Bunches of Oats.
These look amazing! I think I would switch out for Almond butter – but it would be equally delicious!

These are so amazing, I make something simiar with oats, chocolate chips and peanut butter! They’re so easy and great to grab and go!
This would make a good pie crust too for a single layer pie of almost any type and it is a good way to use little left over cerals.
How many calories and serving size?
Sounds good. Just wondering what a serving size would be and nutritional value would be… Especially calorie, carbs, sugar and fat
