Ingredients
Scale
Base Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups Greek yogurt (plain or vanilla)
- 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Toppings
- 1 cup granola (your choice: nutty, fruity, or classic oats)
- ½ cup fresh berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries)
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds or flax seeds (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare Your Base: In a mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt with honey or maple syrup and vanilla extract. Stir until smooth and slightly sweetened to create a creamy base.
- Spread the Yogurt: Line a baking sheet or tray with parchment paper. Evenly spread the yogurt mixture to about a quarter-inch thickness for the ideal bark consistency.
- Add Granola and Toppings: Sprinkle granola, fresh berries, chia or flax seeds, and any additional toppings evenly over the yogurt layer. Press gently so toppings adhere without losing their texture.
- Freeze Until Firm: Place the baking sheet in the freezer for at least two hours, or until the yogurt is completely set and firm to the touch.
- Break Into Pieces and Serve: Remove the bark from the freezer and break into bite-sized, irregular pieces. Serve immediately or store for later use.
Notes
- Use full-fat yogurt for better freezing results and richer flavor.
- Keep the yogurt layer thick enough to avoid tiny, crumbly pieces when breaking.
- Press toppings lightly for better adherence without crushing them.
- Freeze on a flat surface for even thickness and easier breaking.
- Store leftover bark in airtight containers to prevent freezer burn and maintain freshness.
