Ingredients
  

2 cups rolled oats

1/2 cup nuts (almonds or walnuts, chopped)

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

1/4 cup cocoa powder

1/4 cup brewed coffee (cooled)

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/4 teaspoon salt

1 cup Greek yogurt (plain or vanilla-flavored)

1/2 cup mini chocolate chips

1/4 cup dried cherries or cranberries (optional)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Oat Mixture: In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, chopped nuts, cocoa powder, and salt. Stir until well mixed.

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

      Combine Mixtures: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry oat mixture. Stir thoroughly until all the dry ingredients are evenly coated.

        Add Yogurt: Gently fold in the Greek yogurt to the mixture, ensuring that it is well incorporated and the mixture is mostly sticky.

          Incorporate Chocolate and Fruits: Add the mini chocolate chips and dried fruits (if using) to the mixture. Stir until they are evenly distributed.

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

              Fill the Pan: Pour the granola mixture into the prepared dish. Use a spatula to press down firmly into an even layer. Make sure it's compact to ensure the bars hold together.

                Freeze: Cover the dish with plastic wrap and place it in the freezer for at least 2-3 hours, or until solid.

                  Slice and Serve: Once frozen, lift the bars out of the dish using the parchment paper overhang and transfer to a cutting board. Slice into desired sizes (usually 8-12 bars).

                    Store: Keep the bars in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 3 months. Enjoy straight from the freezer for a refreshing snack!
