How to Make Frozen Greek Yogurt Berry Bars
Step 1: Line Your Pan
Line an 8x8-inch square baking pan with parchment paper, leaving extra overhang on the sides for easy lifting.
Step 2: Prepare the Yogurt Base
In a medium bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, honey (or maple syrup), and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
Step 3: Assemble the Layers
Pour the yogurt mixture into the prepared pan. Use a spatula to smooth it into an even layer.
Sprinkle the mixed berries evenly over the yogurt base, pressing them in gently. Add granola and chia seeds (if using) over the top.
Step 4: Freeze
Place the pan in the freezer and freeze for at least 3-4 hours or until completely firm.
Step 5: Slice and Serve
Once frozen, lift the yogurt slab out of the pan using the parchment overhang. Let it sit at room temperature for 5 minutes to soften slightly, then cut into bars or squares with a sharp knife. Enjoy your delicious Frozen Greek Yogurt Berry Bars!
