Ingredients
Scale
- 1 ½ cups (225g) frozen mixed berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries)
- 1 cup (240ml) Greek yogurt (full-fat or 2%)
- 2 tablespoons honey (or maple syrup for vegan option)
- ½ cup (45g) rolled oats
- 2 tablespoons chia seeds
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¼ cup (60ml) unsweetened almond milk (or coconut/oat milk)
- ½ cup (75g) fresh berries for topping (optional)
Instructions
- Line an 8×8 inch (20×20 cm) pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on two sides for easy removal.
- Place ½ cup (45g) rolled oats into a food processor and pulse until coarse flour texture (about 30 seconds).
- Add 1 ½ cups (225g) frozen mixed berries to the oat flour and blend until smooth and thick, scraping sides as needed (1-2 minutes).
- In a mixing bowl, combine 1 cup (240ml) Greek yogurt, 2 tablespoons honey, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and ¼ cup (60ml) almond milk. Stir until smooth.
- Pour the berry-oat blend into the wet ingredients and fold gently with a spatula. Add 2 tablespoons chia seeds and mix until evenly incorporated.
- Transfer the mixture into the prepared pan and spread evenly with a spatula. Press down gently to compact the mixture.
- Refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until firm. Alternatively, freeze for 45 minutes but avoid freezing solid.
- Use the parchment overhang to lift the chilled block out of the pan. Cut into 6-8 bars depending on preferred size.
- Optionally, top with fresh berries before serving.
Notes
Use parchment paper to prevent sticking and ease removal. Frozen berries help thicken the batter. Chia seeds act as a binder to prevent crumbling. Let bars sit at room temperature for 5 minutes if they crumble when cutting. For vegan option, substitute Greek yogurt with coconut or almond yogurt and honey with maple syrup. Certified gluten-free oats recommended for gluten-free diet.
