Ingredients
  

2 cups rolled oats

1 cup mixed nuts (such as almonds, walnuts, and pecans)

1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder

1/3 cup honey or maple syrup

1/4 cup coconut oil, melted

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/4 teaspoon salt

1 cup brewed espresso or strong coffee, cooled

2 cups plain Greek yogurt

1/4 cup dark or semi-sweet chocolate chips

1/4 cup mini chocolate chips for garnish

Optional: 1/4 cup shredded coconut or chopped dried fruit for added texture

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare an 8x8 inch baking pan by lining it with parchment paper, allowing some overhang on the sides for easy removal later.

    Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, mixed nuts, cocoa powder, and salt. Using a wooden spoon or spatula, stir the mixture thoroughly until all the dry ingredients are well blended.

      Mix Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the honey (or maple syrup), melted coconut oil, vanilla extract, and cooled espresso. Mix until all components are fully incorporated and the mixture is smooth.

        Combine Mixtures: Pour the wet mixture over the dry ingredients. Stir well using a large spoon or spatula until the dry ingredients are completely coated.

          Press the Mixture: Transfer the combined mixture into the prepared baking pan. Using the back of a spatula or a measuring cup, press the mixture down firmly and evenly to form a solid base.

            Bake: Place the pan in your preheated oven and bake for approximately 15-20 minutes, or until the edges are slightly crispy. After baking, allow it to cool for about 10 minutes in the pan before lifting it out with the parchment paper overhang.

              Prepare the Yogurt Layer: In a medium mixing bowl, add the Greek yogurt and chocolate chips. Stir until the chocolate chips are evenly distributed throughout the yogurt, creating a creamy, chocolatey mixture.

                Assembly: After the granola base has completely cooled, spread the yogurt mixture evenly over the top of the granola layer, ensuring that it covers the entire surface.

                  Add Toppings: Sprinkle mini chocolate chips on top of the yogurt layer, along with any optional toppings like shredded coconut or chopped dried fruit to enhance the texture and flavor.

                    Freeze: Cover the pan tightly with plastic wrap and place it in the freezer. Allow the bars to freeze for at least 2-4 hours or until they are completely firm.

                      Slice and Serve: Once frozen, use the parchment paper to lift the bars out of the pan. Slice them into your desired sizes. Serve immediately or store tightly wrapped in the freezer for a delightful and healthy snack anytime!
