Ingredients
  

2 cups rolled oats

1/2 cup chopped nuts (almonds or walnuts)

1/2 cup honey or maple syrup (for a vegan option)

1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder

1/4 cup brewed coffee, cooled

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/4 teaspoon salt

1 cup plain or vanilla-flavored Greek yogurt

1/2 cup mini chocolate chips

1/4 cup dried cherries or cranberries (optional)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Oat Mixture: In a spacious mixing bowl, add the rolled oats, chopped nuts, cocoa powder, and salt. Mix them together thoroughly until all dry ingredients are combined.

    Mix Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the honey (or maple syrup), cooled brewed coffee, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and fully blended.

      Combine Mixtures: Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry oat mixture. Stir well to ensure that all ingredients are evenly coated, creating a thick batter-like consistency.

        Add Yogurt: Gently fold the Greek yogurt into the combined mixture. Use a spatula to incorporate until the mixture is sticky and well combined, ensuring that the yogurt is evenly distributed throughout.

          Incorporate Chocolate and Fruits: Carefully add the mini chocolate chips and the optional dried cherries or cranberries to the mixture. Gently stir until everything is evenly dispersed.

            Prepare the Pan: Line an 8x8 inch (20x20 cm) square baking dish with parchment paper, allowing for some overhang to make removal easier later.

              Fill the Pan: Transfer the granola mixture into the prepared baking dish. Use a spatula or the back of a spoon to firmly press the mixture down into an even layer, making sure it is compact to help hold the bars together.

                Freeze: Cover the dish tightly with plastic wrap and place it in the freezer. Allow it to freeze for a minimum of 2-3 hours or until solid and firm to the touch.

                  Slice and Serve: After freezing, lift the granola mixture out of the dish using the parchment paper overhang. Place it on a cutting board and slice it into your desired portion sizes, typically yielding 8-12 bars.

                    Store: Keep the sliced bars in an airtight container in the freezer where they will stay fresh for up to 3 months. Enjoy these delightful bars straight from the freezer for a deliciously refreshing snack!

                        - Presentation Tips: For a more delightful presentation, drizzle some extra honey or melted chocolate over the top of the bars before slicing or serve the bars alongside a small scoop of frozen yogurt.
