Total Time: 15 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 8 bars
Ingredients
- 2 cups Greek yogurt
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1 cup mixed berries
- 1/2 cup granola
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Begin by gathering all your ingredients: 2 cups of Greek yogurt, 1/4 cup of honey, 1 cup of mixed berries (fresh or frozen), 1/2 cup of granola, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt and honey. Stir well until the honey is fully incorporated into the yogurt.
- Add the vanilla extract to the yogurt mixture and mix until combined. This will add a lovely flavor to your bars.
- Gently fold in the mixed berries, being careful not to break them up too much. If using frozen berries, ensure they are slightly thawed to prevent excess water from being released.
- Prepare a baking dish or a rectangular container by lining it with parchment paper. This will make it easier to remove the bars once they are frozen.
- Pour the yogurt and berry mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
- Sprinkle the granola evenly over the top of the yogurt mixture. This will add a nice crunch to your breakfast bars.
- Cover the baking dish with plastic wrap or a lid and place it in the freezer. Allow the mixture to freeze for at least 4 hours, or until solid.
- Once frozen, remove the dish from the freezer. Using the parchment paper, lift the frozen yogurt block out of the dish.
- Using a sharp knife, cut the frozen yogurt block into 8 equal bars.
- Store any leftover bars in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 2 weeks.
- Enjoy your homemade Frozen Yogurt Breakfast Bars as a nutritious and delicious start to your day!
Tips
- Choose Full-Fat Greek Yogurt: For the creamiest texture and richest flavor, opt for full-fat Greek yogurt. It provides better consistency when frozen.
- Berry Selection Matters: Use a mix of berries like strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries for varied flavor and maximum nutritional benefits.
- Granola Crunch Hack: For extra crunch, consider toasting your granola lightly before sprinkling it on top of the bars.
- Freezing Perfection: Ensure your bars are completely frozen (at least 4 hours) before cutting to maintain their shape.
- Storage Tip: Wrap individual bars in plastic wrap after cutting to prevent freezer burn and maintain freshness.
- Customization Options: Feel free to experiment with different honey varieties or add a sprinkle of chia seeds for extra nutrition.
- Thawing Technique: Let the bars sit at room temperature for 2-3 minutes before eating for the perfect texture.
