Ingredients
-
9 pitted soft dates
-
2 cups old-fashioned oats
-
½ cup almond butter
-
¼ cup ground flaxseed
-
1 tsp. ground cinnamon
-
¼ tsp. salt
-
1 tablespoon maple syrup
-
2 cups yogurt
-
1 – 1½ cups frozen berries or fresh stewed fruit
Instructions
-
In a small pan, stew the frozen or fresh berries over medium heat until they break down and become syrupy. Remove from heat and let cool.
-
In a food processor, blend dates until smooth.
-
Add oats, almond butter, flaxseed, cinnamon, maple syrup, and salt. Blend until combined, scraping sides as needed.
-
Line a baking dish with parchment paper and press the mixture evenly into the bottom of the dish. Use hands or a spatula to flatten firmly.
-
Optional: Bake at 350°F (180°C) for 10 minutes for a firmer texture. Let cool completely.
-
Spread yogurt evenly over the base.
-
Drizzle cooled berry syrup over the yogurt. Swirl using a skewer or stick.
-
Freeze for 3–4 hours or until solid.
-
Cut into bars and serve frozen.
Notes
-
For dairy-free, use coconut yogurt and sunflower seed butter.
-
Adjust sweetness by reducing maple syrup if fruit is very sweet.
-
Optional to skip baking the base—texture will still hold.
