Granola Berry Yogurt Bars
Ingredients:
Granola Base
- 1/4 cup peanut butter
- 3 tablespoons maple syrup
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1 cup oats
- 1/4 cup oat flour
- 1/4 cup seeds (I used pumpkin seeds)
- Optional: 1/4 cup buckwheat groats or oat groats *
Jam and Yogurt Layers
- 1 cup frozen berries
- 1/2 tbsp chia seeds
- 1 cup plain or vanilla yogurt (I used dairy-free)
Instructions:
- In a small pot over medium-low heat, add your frozen berries. Let them cook down for around 5 minutes, stirring often, until the berries become a jam consistency. Then, turn off the heat and stir in the chia seeds. Set aside.
- In a bowl, add your peanut butter, maple syrup and cinnamon. Whisk together with a fork until the mixture becomes smooth.
- Add the oats, oat flour, seeds and groats (if using) and mix again until well combined.
- Line a small oven dish with parchment paper. Spread the granola mixture evenly on the baking dish.
- Then, add a layer of jam.
- Finally, spread the yogurt layer on top.
- Pop it in the freezer to set for around 30 minutes. Then, take them out, cut into slices, and enjoy!
Notes:
*Buckwheat or at groats are different than plain oats. They add a crunchy element to the granola base but are completely optional.
