Ingredients
  

2 cups Greek yogurt (plain or vanilla)

1/2 cup creamy peanut butter

1/4 cup honey or maple syrup (adjust according to your sweetness preference)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 cup rolled oats

1/2 cup dark chocolate chips (choose dairy-free for a vegan option)

1/4 cup crushed peanuts or granola (for topping and added crunch)

A pinch of sea salt

Instructions
 

Prepare the Base: In a large mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, creamy peanut butter, honey (or maple syrup), and vanilla extract. Use a whisk or an electric mixer at medium speed to blend the ingredients until the mixture is smooth and fully combined, ensuring there are no lumps.

    Fold in Oats: With a spatula, gently fold in the rolled oats until they are evenly dispersed in the yogurt mixture, creating a harmonious blend of textures.

      Add Chocolate Chips: Stir in the dark chocolate chips, ensuring they are well integrated and spread uniformly throughout the mixture for that delightful chocolatey flavor in every bite.

        Prepare the Pan: Line an 8x8 inch (or comparable size) baking dish with parchment paper, allowing the edges to extend over the sides. This will aid in lifting the bars out once set.

          Spread the Mixture: Pour the yogurt and peanut butter mixture into the prepared baking dish. Use a spatula to spread the mixture evenly across the bottom of the pan, smoothing the top to create a flat surface.

            Add Toppings: Evenly sprinkle the crushed peanuts or granola over the top, adding an extra layer of texture and crunch. Complete with a light pinch of sea salt to enhance the flavors.

              Freeze: Cover the dish tightly with plastic wrap or aluminum foil and place it in the freezer. Allow it to freeze for a minimum of 4 hours, or until the bars are completely solid.

                Slice and Serve: Once fully frozen, carefully lift the bars out of the pan using the overhanging parchment paper. Using a sharp knife, slice into squares or rectangles. Serve immediately, enjoying the deliciously creamy texture!

                  Store: If you have leftovers, place them in an airtight container and store in the freezer for up to 2 weeks, ensuring you can enjoy these treats on demand!
