Frozen Yogurt Berry Granola Bars (Printable Version)

Cool, creamy Greek yogurt layered with fresh berries and crunchy granola in these easy frozen bars.

# What You 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 Make It:

01 - Line an 8x8-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang for easy removal.
02 - In a medium bowl, combine granola, honey or maple syrup, and melted coconut oil until evenly mixed.
03 - Press the granola mixture firmly and evenly into the bottom of the prepared pan to form a solid base layer.
04 - In a separate bowl, whisk Greek yogurt, honey or agave, and vanilla extract until smooth and well combined.
05 - Evenly spread the yogurt mixture over the pressed granola base using a spatula.
06 - Scatter mixed berries over the yogurt layer. Sprinkle with chia seeds if desired for extra texture and nutrition.
07 - Place pan in freezer and freeze for at least 4 hours or until completely firm throughout.
08 - Use parchment overhang to lift the frozen slab from pan. Place on cutting board and let sit for 5-10 minutes to soften slightly.
09 - Cut into 12 even bars using a sharp knife. Store in airtight container in freezer; serve frozen or slightly thawed.

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • They taste like dessert but feel like breakfast, satisfying both sweet cravings and that afternoon energy dip without any added sugar crash
  • My kids actually ask for these instead of ice cream, which still feels like a personal victory every single time
02 -
  • These bars start melting within about 3 minutes at room temperature, so work quickly when slicing and serving
  • The texture changes overnight in the freezer, becoming icier, so for the creamiest result eat them within the first week
03 -
  • Let your granola mixture cool slightly before pressing it into the pan if the coconut oil was hot, or it might soften the parchment paper
  • Smooth the yogurt layer with the back of a spoon dipped in warm water for perfectly even results
