Tips & Variations

  • For a nut-free version, substitute sunflower seed butter for peanut butter.
  • Try adding chopped nuts or shredded coconut to the topping for extra texture.
  • Use flavored Greek yogurt like vanilla or honey for added sweetness without extra honey.
  • If you prefer softer bars, freeze for less time and enjoy a creamier texture.

Storage

Store the frozen yogurt bars in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 1 week. To reheat, let them sit at room temperature for a few minutes before serving for easier cutting and a softer texture.
