Prep Time: 15 mins
Cook Time: 4 hrs
Total Time: 4 hrs 15 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 8 bars
Ingredients
- 2 cups Greek yogurt
- 1 cup strawberries, pureed
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1/2 cup granola
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Begin by gathering all your ingredients: 2 cups of Greek yogurt, 1 cup of strawberries (pureed), 1/4 cup of honey, 1/2 cup of granola, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract.
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, pureed strawberries, honey, and vanilla extract. Use a whisk or spatula to mix until the ingredients are well blended and smooth.
- Taste the mixture and adjust sweetness if needed by adding more honey according to your preference.
- Once the mixture is well combined, fold in the granola gently. This will add a nice crunch to your yogurt bars.
- Prepare a baking dish or a rectangular mold (approximately 8x8 inches) by lining it with parchment paper. This will make it easier to remove the bars later.
- Pour the yogurt mixture into the prepared dish, spreading it evenly with a spatula to ensure a uniform thickness.
- Cover the dish with plastic wrap or a lid to prevent ice crystals from forming on the surface.
- Place the dish in the freezer and allow it to freeze for at least 4 hours, or until the mixture is completely firm.
- Once frozen, remove the dish from the freezer and let it sit at room temperature for about 5-10 minutes to soften slightly, making it easier to cut.
- Using a sharp knife, carefully cut the frozen yogurt into 8 bars of equal size.
- Once cut, you can either serve them immediately or wrap each bar individually in plastic wrap for later enjoyment.
- Store any leftover bars in an airtight container in the freezer for up to a month.
- Enjoy your delicious Strawberry Frozen Breakfast Yogurt Bars as a refreshing breakfast or snack!
Tips
- Choose Ripe Strawberries: For the best flavor, use ripe strawberries that are sweet and juicy. If strawberries are out of season, consider using frozen strawberries; just make sure to puree them well.
- Adjust Sweetness: Everyone's taste buds are different! Start with the suggested amount of honey, then taste the mixture and add more if you prefer a sweeter bar.
- Mix It Up: Feel free to customize your bars! Add other fruits like bananas or blueberries, or even mix in some nuts for added texture.
- Use Parchment Paper: Lining your baking dish with parchment paper will not only make it easier to remove the bars but also prevent sticking.
- Cutting Frozen Bars: Let the bars sit at room temperature for a few minutes after removing them from the freezer. This will soften them slightly, making it easier to cut into perfect squares.
- Storage: Wrap each bar individually in plastic wrap for a quick grab-and-go breakfast option. Store them in an airtight container in the freezer for up to a month.
- Enjoy Anytime: These bars are not just for breakfast! They make a fantastic snack or dessert, so feel free to enjoy them any time of day.
