Ingredients
  

2 cups plain Greek yogurt

1/2 cup honey or maple syrup

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 cup dried cranberries, chopped

1 cup walnuts, chopped

1/2 cup granola

1/4 cup coconut flakes (optional)

Pinch of salt

Cooking spray or parchment paper (for lining pan)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Pan: Start by lining an 8x8 inch square baking dish with parchment paper, letting the edges overhang for easy removal. If you prefer, lightly spray the pan with cooking spray to prevent sticking.

    Mix the Yogurt Base: In a large mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, honey (or maple syrup), vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Stir until completely smooth and well-integrated.

      Add the Mix-ins: Fold in the chopped dried cranberries, chopped walnuts, granola, and coconut flakes (if using). Ensure the ingredients are evenly distributed throughout the yogurt mixture.

        Pour and Smooth: Pour the yogurt mixture into the prepared baking dish. Use a spatula to spread it evenly, smoothing the top.

          Freeze: Cover the dish with plastic wrap or foil and place it in the freezer. Allow the mixture to freeze for at least 4-6 hours, or until it is firm and solid.

            Cut into Bars: Once frozen, remove the dish from the freezer. Lift the yogurt block out using the overhanging parchment paper. Place it on a cutting board and slice it into bars or squares, as desired.

              Serve and Enjoy: The bars can be enjoyed immediately or stored in an airtight container in the freezer for up to a month. For serving, let them sit at room temperature for a few minutes to soften slightly before indulging.
