Frozen Yogurt Berry Granola Bars (Printable version)
Refreshing layers of creamy yogurt, fresh berries, and crunchy granola make these easy frozen bars perfect for healthy snacking.
# What You'll Need:
→ Base
01 - 2 cups granola (preferably low sugar; gluten-free if desired)
02 - 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
03 - 2 tablespoons melted coconut oil
→ Yogurt Layer
04 - 2 cups plain Greek yogurt (or dairy-free alternative)
05 - 2–3 tablespoons honey or agave syrup
06 - 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
→ Berry Topping
07 - 1 cup mixed fresh berries (blueberries, raspberries, strawberries, blackberries)
08 - 1 tablespoon chia seeds (optional)
# How to Prepare:
01 - Line an 8x8-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang for easy removal.
02 - In a medium bowl, mix granola, honey (or maple syrup), and melted coconut oil until combined.
03 - Press the granola mixture firmly and evenly into the bottom of the prepared pan to form the base.
04 - In a separate bowl, blend Greek yogurt, honey (or agave), and vanilla extract until smooth.
05 - Spread the yogurt mixture evenly over the granola base.
06 - Scatter the mixed berries over the yogurt layer. If desired, sprinkle with chia seeds for extra texture and nutrition.
07 - Place the pan in the freezer and freeze for at least 4 hours, or until completely firm.
08 - Once frozen, use the parchment overhang to lift the slab out of the pan. Place on a cutting board and let sit for 5–10 minutes to soften slightly.
09 - Slice into bars using a sharp knife. Store bars in an airtight container in the freezer; serve frozen or slightly thawed.
# Expert advice:
01 -
- You can make them at midnight without heating up your kitchen
- They taste like eating dessert for breakfast but with actual protein
02 -
- These bars melt faster than ice cream. Work quickly once they leave the freezer.
- A warm knife dipped in hot water creates the cleanest cuts through frozen layers.
03 -
- Dont use regular yogurt. Greek yogurt freezes firmer and doesnt develop ice crystals.
- Line your pan with two sheets of parchment paper perpendicular to each other for easy lifting from any corner.
