Frozen Granola Yogurt Bars with Berries Recipe:
To make Frozen Granola Yogurt Bars with Berries, gather the following ingredients:
INGREDIENTS
Granola base
- 2 cups rolled oats
- ½ cup natural peanut butter
- ⅓ cup maple syrup
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
Yogurt layer
- 2 cups vanilla Greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup )
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Toppings
- 3 tablespoons fruit jam of choice (optional)
- ½ cup mixed berries (we used raspberries, strawberries, blueberries & blackberries)
INSTRUCTIONS
- Line a square baking pan or baking dish (8x8 or 9x9) with parchment paper or wax paper.
- In a mixing bowl, ½ cup creamy peanut butter, 1 tablespoons vanilla extract, ⅓ cup maple syrup, 2 cups rolled oats, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, and ½ teaspoon of kosher salt. Mix until the granola clumps up. Press the granola base into a parchment-lined baking pan in an even layer. Place in the freezer to firm up briefly while you prepare the yogurt layer.
- In a separate large mixing bowl, combine 2 cups yogurt with 2 tablespoons maple syrup (or to taste) and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Mix until well combined, and adjust the sweetness to taste. Using a rubber or offset spatula, smooth the yogurt layer over top of the granola base.
- Next, add the optional 2 tablespoons of fruit jam and place it in small dollops on top of the yogurt. Use a toothpick to create a swirl pattern in the jam. Top with berries, and then place in the freezer for 3-4 hours to firm up. Once the bars are frozen solid, you can remove them from the baking dish and cut them into 9-12 pieces. Enjoy!
- You can store the bars in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 1-2 months. Make sure to separate the layers with parchment paper to prevent sticking. Make sure to allow the bars to sit out at room temperature for about 30 minutes before enjoying them after they have frozen solid. The bars will be quite hard, so they will need time to soften up so you can enjoy them easily!
