Ingredients
  

2 cups Greek yogurt (plain or vanilla)

1 cup fresh or frozen raspberries

1/4 cup honey or maple syrup (to taste)

1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/2 cup rolled oats

1/4 cup chia seeds

1/2 cup crushed nuts (almonds, pecans, or walnuts)

1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

1/4 cup coconut flakes (unsweetened)

Pinch of salt

Instructions
 

Prepare the Raspberry Layer: In a blender, combine raspberries, Greek yogurt, honey (or maple syrup), and vanilla extract. Blend until smooth and creamy. If you prefer chunks of raspberries, pulse the berries without over-blending.

    Mix Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, mix rolled oats, chia seeds, crushed nuts, cinnamon, coconut flakes, and a pinch of salt until well combined.

      Combine Mixtures: Pour the raspberry yogurt mixture into the dry ingredients bowl. Stir gently until everything is well coated and evenly distributed.

        Set Up Your Pan: Line an 8x8-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal.

          Fill the Pan: Pour the mixture into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly. Press down firmly to create an even layer.

            Freeze: Cover the pan with plastic wrap or foil and place it in the freezer. Let it freeze for at least 4 hours, or until firm.

              Slice into Bars: Once frozen, remove the bars from the pan using the parchment paper overhang. Cut into squares or rectangles.

                Serve or Store: Enjoy the bars immediately, or wrap them individually in plastic wrap and store them in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 2 weeks.
