Ingredients
  

2 cups Greek yogurt (choose plain for a neutral flavor or flavored for a fun twist)

1 cup granola (opt for a nutty and fruity variety for enhanced taste)

1/2 cup mixed nuts (roughly chopped; almonds, walnuts, and cashews work beautifully)

1/2 cup dried fruits (such as cranberries, apricots, or raisins—use your favorites)

1/4 cup honey or maple syrup (your choice of sweetener)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract (for added flavor depth)

Pinch of sea salt (to balance the sweetness)

1/2 cup mini chocolate chips or dark chocolate chunks (optional, but a tasty addition)

1/4 cup unsweetened shredded coconut (optional, for extra texture)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Base: In a large mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, honey (or maple syrup), vanilla extract, and a pinch of sea salt. Mix well until the ingredients are thoroughly blended and the mixture is smooth and creamy. Taste and adjust the sweetness if needed.

    Incorporate the Add-ins: Gently fold in the granola, chopped mixed nuts, dried fruits, mini chocolate chips (if using), and shredded coconut (if using) into the yogurt mixture. Take care to mix evenly without crushing the granola too much to maintain texture.

      Line the Pan: Line a 9x9-inch (or equivalent) square baking pan with parchment paper, leaving extra paper hanging over the edges. This will help you lift out the squares later on with ease.

        Spread the Mixture: Carefully pour the yogurt and granola mixture into the prepared pan. Use a spatula to spread it evenly across the surface, pressing down gently to pack it tightly.

          Freeze: Cover the pan with plastic wrap or foil to protect it from freezer odors, and place it in the freezer for at least 4-6 hours, or until the mixture is completely firm.

            Cut into Squares: Once fully frozen, lift the granola block out of the pan using the parchment paper overhang. Transfer it to a cutting board and cut into squares or rectangles of your preferred size.

              Store: Place the squares into an airtight container, layering them with parchment paper between each layer to avoid sticking. Keep these delicious treats stored in the freezer until you are ready to serve them.

                Serve & Enjoy: These fantastic Frozen Yogurt Granola Trail Squares are best enjoyed straight out of the freezer. They make for a quick snack, a delightful breakfast on-the-go, or a satisfying dessert!
