All stuck together Granola Clusters

I have been trying, unsuccessfully, for the past 2 years to make granola clusters, also known as oat clusters or oatmeal clusters. You know what oat clusters are right? It is baked oats clumped, stuck together, and when cooled completely, they are broken into pieces, like nuggets. Not being someone to give easily give up, I was determined to figure out how to make the clusters, but perhaps I should start by telling you why I wanted to make oat clusters.
