Ingredients
½ cup honey
½ cup natural peanut butter
2 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups oats
1.5 cups puffed rice cereal
¼ cup unsweetened shredded coconut
¼ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon cinnamon
¼ cup almonds chopped
¼ cup freeze dried strawberries crushed
Yogurt coating:
¼ cup Kalona SuperNatural Honey Organic Yogurt
2 tablespoons light cream cheese softened
1 tablespoon powdered sugar
1 tablespoon Kalona SuperNatural Whole Milk or 2% to thin
Instructions
- In a microwave-safe bowl, mix honey and peanut butter. Microwave for 30 seconds until the peanut butter softens and becomes runny. Stir in the vanilla extract and whisk until smooth.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine oats, puffed rice cereal, shredded coconut, salt, cinnamon, almonds, and freeze-dried strawberries.
- Pour the peanut butter-honey mixture over the dry ingredients and stir until well combined. Using your hands may help ensure everything is evenly mixed.
- Transfer the mixture to an 8-inch square pan lined with parchment paper, pressing it firmly to help the bars hold their shape. Freeze for at least 2 hours.
- Once frozen, carefully slice into 16 granola bars.
- To prepare the yogurt coating, whisk together honey yogurt, softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and milk until smooth.
- Dip the tops of the granola bars into the yogurt mixture, then place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Sprinkle with extra freeze-dried strawberries.
- Store in the freezer. Enjoy!
