FAQs

Can I use crunchy peanut butter instead of creamy?

Yes, crunchy peanut butter can be used but will add texture to the bars. Creamy peanut butter helps achieve a smoother consistency.

How do I prevent the granola from getting soggy?

Pressing the granola lightly into the yogurt mixture before freezing helps it stick and stay crunchy when frozen. You can also toast the granola beforehand for extra crispness.

Instructions

1. Prepare the yogurt mixture: In a mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, creamy peanut butter, honey or maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Stir thoroughly until the mixture is smooth and well blended, ensuring the peanut butter is fully incorporated with no streaks.
2. Line the baking dish: Take an 8×8-inch baking dish and line it with parchment paper, allowing the paper to hang over the sides for easy removal of the bars later.
3. Spread the mixture: Pour the prepared yogurt mixture into the lined dish. Use a spatula to spread it evenly across the surface, reaching all corners to form a uniform layer.
4. Add toppings: Sprinkle the granola evenly over the top of the spread yogurt mixture. If using, sprinkle mini chocolate chips as well. Press gently on the toppings to make them adhere slightly to the yogurt layer.
5. Freeze to set: Place the baking dish in the freezer and allow it to freeze for 3 to 4 hours, or until the yogurt mixture is completely firm and solid.
6. Cut and serve: Once fully frozen, lift the bars out of the dish using the parchment paper overhang. Place on a cutting board and slice into bars of your preferred size. Serve immediately or store in the freezer until ready to enjoy.

Notes

• Use full-fat Greek yogurt for creamier texture and better consistency.
• Substitute honey with maple syrup to make the bars vegan-friendly.
• Press toppings gently to ensure they stick but do not crush the granola.
• Store bars in an airtight container in the freezer for up to two weeks.
• Let bars sit for a few minutes at room temperature before eating for easier biting.
