Ingredients

  • ½ cup creamy peanut butter
  • ¼ cup honey or maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 cups Greek yogurt (plain or vanilla)
  • ½ cup granola (for topping)
  • ¼ cup mini chocolate chips (optional)

Instructions

  1. Step 1: In a bowl, mix the Greek yogurt, peanut butter, honey, and vanilla extract until smooth and fully combined.
  2. Step 2: Line an 8×8-inch baking dish with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
  3. Step 3: Spread the yogurt mixture evenly in the prepared dish.
  4. Step 4: Sprinkle granola and mini chocolate chips over the top, gently pressing them to help them stick.
  5. Step 5: Freeze the dish for 3-4 hours, or until the mixture is solid.
  6. Step 6: Remove the frozen yogurt from the dish using the parchment paper, cut into bars, and serve immediately.

Tips & Variations

  • Use flavored Greek yogurt, like vanilla or honey, for added sweetness without extra sugar.
  • Swap granola for chopped nuts or seeds to change the texture and add extra crunch.
  • For a vegan alternative, use plant-based yogurt and maple syrup instead of honey.
  • Add fresh berries on top before freezing for burst of fruity flavor.

Storage

Store the bars in an airtight container or tightly wrapped in parchment paper in the freezer for up to 2 weeks. To enjoy, let them sit at room temperature for a few minutes before eating to soften slightly, or eat straight from the freezer for a firmer texture.

How to Serve
