How to Make It

Follow these easy steps to whip up your Frozen Yogurt Granola Bars.

Combine Ingredients

In a large mixing bowl, combine all the granola ingredients and mix with a spatula. Make sure everything is well incorporated.

Press Into Dish

Add the oat mixture to the lined baking dish and use a spatula to firmly press and spread it in an even layer across the bottom of the dish. It’s important to “pack” the granola base.

Add Yogurt

Spread the vanilla yogurt or skyr across the granola base in an even layer. Make sure to cover the granola entirely.

Top With Berries

Evenly distribute the sliced strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, and/or blackberries on top of the yogurt layer for added flavor and color.

Freeze

Place in the freezer for at least 2 hours to set, or until the yogurt is solid. Once set, remove from the freezer and cut into squares.
