Equipment
- 1 mixing bowl
- 1 baking dish (8x8 inches)
- 1 spatula
- 1 parchment paper
- 1 refrigerator
Ingredients
- 2 cups Greek yogurt plain, full-fat or low-fat
- 1 cup fresh blueberries can substitute with frozen, thawed
- ¼ cup honey or maple syrup
- 1 cup granola
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 pinch salt
- ½ cup almond butter or any nut butter of choice
- ¼ cup unsweetened shredded coconut optional, for topping
Instructions
- Line an 8x8 inch baking dish with parchment paper, leaving some overhang to make it easier to remove the bars later.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, honey (or maple syrup), vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Mix until smooth.
- Gently fold in the fresh blueberries, being careful not to break them.
- In another bowl, mix the granola with almond butter until well combined.
- Press the granola and almond butter mixture evenly into the bottom of the lined baking dish to form the crust.
- Pour the blueberry yogurt mixture over the granola crust, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
- If desired, sprinkle shredded coconut on top for added texture and flavor.
- Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until the bars are set.
- Once set, lift the bars out using the parchment paper overhang, cut into squares or rectangles, and serve.
Notes
These bars can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
Feel free to customize with other fruits or mix-ins like nuts or seeds.
For a vegan version, ensure to use maple syrup and a suitable nut butter.
