Ingredients
Scale
Base Ingredients
- 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 mixing bowl, combine Greek yogurt, creamy peanut butter, honey (or maple syrup), and vanilla extract. Stir until the mixture is smooth and fully integrated, ensuring a creamy and uniform base.
- Prepare Dish: Line an 8×8-inch baking dish with parchment paper. This will prevent sticking and make it easier to remove the frozen bars later.
- Spread Mixture: Pour and spread the yogurt mixture evenly into the lined baking dish, smoothing the top for uniform thickness.
- Add Toppings: Sprinkle granola evenly over the surface of the yogurt mixture. Add mini chocolate chips on top if using, and press lightly to help the toppings stick to the surface.
- Freeze: Place the dish in the freezer and allow the bars to freeze for 3 to 4 hours or until they are fully solid and firm enough to cut.
- Cut and Serve: Once frozen, lift the frozen yogurt slab out of the dish using the parchment paper edges. Cut into bars of desired size and serve immediately or store in the freezer for later enjoyment.
Notes
