Ingredients
Scale
Base Mixture
- ½ cup creamy peanut butter
- ¼ cup honey or maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups Greek yogurt (plain or vanilla)
Topping
- ½ cup granola
- ¼ cup mini chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions
- Mix Ingredients: In a bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, creamy peanut butter, honey (or maple syrup), and vanilla extract. Stir thoroughly until the mixture is smooth and well blended without any lumps.
- Prepare Baking Dish: Line an 8×8-inch baking dish with parchment paper, ensuring the paper covers the bottom and sides for easy removal of the bars later.
- Spread Mixture: Pour the yogurt mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread it evenly with a spatula to create a uniform layer.
- Add Toppings: Sprinkle the granola evenly over the top of the yogurt mixture. If using mini chocolate chips, scatter them over the granola. Gently press the toppings lightly to help them adhere to the yogurt layer.
- Freeze: Place the baking dish in the freezer and freeze for 3 to 4 hours or until the mixture is completely solid and firm to touch.
- Cut and Serve: Once frozen solid, remove the bars by lifting the parchment paper from the baking dish. Cut into individual bars of your preferred size and serve immediately or keep frozen until ready to enjoy.
Notes
- You can substitute honey with maple syrup for a vegan-friendly option.
- Use plain or vanilla-flavored Greek yogurt depending on your taste preference and sweetness level.
- The bars should be stored in the freezer and consumed within a week for best freshness.
- Feel free to add nuts or dried fruits for additional texture and flavor.
- To make the bars easier to cut, let them sit at room temperature for a few minutes before slicing.
