Description
These no-bake granola bars combine Greek yogurt, oats, and protein powder for a nutritious snack that is soft, chewy, and perfect for on-the-go eating.
Ingredients
- 2 ½ cups old-fashioned oats
- ½ cup vanilla protein powder
- 2 tablespoons chia seeds
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup plain Greek yogurt
- ½ cup honey or maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ cup crushed freeze-dried raspberries (optional)
Instructions
- Mix the dry ingredients: In a large bowl, stir together oats, protein powder, chia seeds, and salt.
- Combine the wet ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together Greek yogurt, honey (or maple syrup), and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until mixed and sticky. Fold in freeze-dried raspberries if using.
- Line an 8×8-inch pan with parchment paper and press mixture firmly into the pan.
- Cover and chill in the refrigerator for at least 120 minutes until firm.
- Lift out using the parchment overhang, cut into bars, and store in an airtight container in the fridge.
Notes
Press firmly to avoid crumbly bars; chill long enough for the best texture. Adjust sweetness to taste by tasting the wet mixture before combining.
