  • 2 tablespoons coconut oil (melted)
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt

For the Yogurt Layer:

  • 2 cups plain Greek yogurt (or vanilla for added sweetness)
  • 1/2 cup peanut butter

Prep Time: 15 minutesCook Time: 0 minutesFreeze Time: 4 hoursTotal Time: 4 hours 15 minutes

Instructions:

  1. Make the Base:
    In a large bowl, mix oats, peanut butter, honey, melted coconut oil, vanilla, and a pinch of salt until well combined. Press the mixture firmly into a parchment-lined 8×8-inch baking dish. Use the back of a spoon to flatten it out evenly.
  2. Mix the Yogurt Layer:
    In a separate bowl, whisk together Greek yogurt, peanut butter, maple syrup (or honey), and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy. Taste and adjust sweetness if needed.
  3. Assemble the Bars:
    Pour the yogurt mixture over the oat base, smoothing it out evenly. Sprinkle with your favorite toppings like mini chocolate chips or chopped nuts.
  4. Freeze:
    Place the pan in the freezer for at least 4 hours or until fully set. For best results, freeze overnight.
  5. Serve:
    Once frozen, lift the bars out using the parchment paper and cut into squares or rectangles. Store in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 2 weeks.

Tips for Making the Best Peanut Butter Frozen Yogurt Bars:

  • Use full-fat Greek yogurt for a creamier texture and better freeze.
  • Line your pan with parchment paper for easy removal and slicing.
  • Don’t skip the honey or syrup. It helps prevent the yogurt layer from becoming icy.
  • Let the bars sit at room temp for 5 minutes before slicing to avoid cracks.
  • Add a second drizzle of peanut butter and chocolate once frozen for extra indulgence.

Easy Variations to Try:

  • Chocolate Swirl: Add a swirl of melted chocolate to the yogurt layer before freezing.
  • Berry Bliss: Fold in chopped strawberries or raspberries into the yogurt mix for a fruity twist.
  • Almond Butter Swap: Switch out peanut butter for almond or cashew butter.
  • Granola Topper: Sprinkle granola on top before freezing for extra crunch.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Can I use non-dairy yogurt?
Absolutely. Coconut or almond milk yogurt works well, just choose a thicker variety so the bars hold their shape.

Is this recipe kid-friendly?
Yes. Kids love the flavor and texture. You can even let them help assemble and decorate the bars.

Do these bars melt quickly?
They’ll soften if left out too long, so serve them straight from the freezer or let them sit for just a couple minutes for a creamy bite.

Can I use regular yogurt instead of Greek?
Greek yogurt is preferred because it’s thicker, but you can strain regular yogurt through cheesecloth to remove excess liquid and thicken it up.

How long do they last in the freezer?
They’re best within 2 weeks, though they can last up to a month if well-sealed.
