Ingredients
  

2 cups Greek yogurt (choose either plain or vanilla flavored)

1/4 cup pure maple syrup

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 cup rolled oats

1/2 cup granola (store-bought or homemade for a personal touch)

1/2 cup chopped nuts (choose from almonds, walnuts, or pecans)

1/3 cup dried fruit (options include cranberries, raisins, or chopped dates)

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/4 cup mini chocolate chips (optional for a sweet finish)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Pan: Begin by lining an 8x8-inch baking dish with parchment paper. Ensure that there is some overhang on the sides to facilitate easy removal later. Lightly grease the parchment paper with cooking spray or a thin layer of neutral oil to prevent sticking.

    Mix Yogurt Base: In a large mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Use a whisk or spatula to mix the ingredients together until they achieve a smooth and creamy consistency.

      Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, add the rolled oats, granola, chopped nuts, dried fruit, and salt. Stir the mixture until all dry ingredients are evenly distributed.

        Combine Mixtures: Gradually fold the dry ingredient mix into the yogurt mixture. Use a gentle motion to ensure everything is blended well. If you are opting for chocolate chips, this is the perfect time to fold them in, being careful not to break them apart.

          Spread Mixture into the Pan: Pour the combined mixture into the prepared baking dish. Use a spatula to spread it evenly, making sure to reach all corners. Press down firmly with the spatula to create a compact, even layer for the bars.

            Freeze: Cover the baking dish tightly with plastic wrap or aluminum foil. Place it in the freezer and allow it to freeze for at least 4 hours, or until it is solid and set.

              Cut and Serve: Once fully frozen, carefully lift the bars out of the pan using the parchment paper overhang. Transfer them to a cutting board and use a sharp knife to cut them into squares or rectangles according to your preference.

                Storage: Store any leftover bars in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 2 weeks. Enjoy them straight from the freezer or let them thaw for a few minutes to achieve a softer texture before indulging.
