Notes

Use full-fat yogurt for creamiest texture; non-fat may cause iciness.

Always line pan with parchment paper for easy removal.

Do not overmix granola into yogurt; keep a distinct crunchy top layer.

Store leftovers in an airtight container in freezer for up to 2 weeks, with parchment between layers.

For vegan version, use dairy-free yogurt and agave nectar instead of honey.

For nut-free version, choose nut-free granola and skip nut toppings.

Flavored yogurt can be used; reduce added sweetener accordingly.

FAQs

Can I use flavored yogurt?

Yes, you can. Just reduce the added sweetener because flavored yogurt already contains sugar.

How long do they need to freeze?

Four hours is the minimum. For the best results, freeze them overnight.

Can I make these nut-free?

Absolutely. Just choose a nut-free granola and skip any nut toppings.

My bars turned icy. What happened?

You likely used non-fat yogurt. The fat helps create a smooth, creamy texture. Try full-fat yogurt next time.
