Let’s Get Your Ingredients Ready
Grab a big bowl and a baking sheet. Let’s line everything up. It’s go time!
- 2 cups plain Greek yogurt (I use full-fat for extra creaminess!)
- 1/3 cup creamy peanut butter or almond butter
- 2-3 tablespoons pure maple syrup or honey*
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- A big pinch of sea salt
- For Mix-ins (Choose Your Favorites!):

- 2 tablespoons chia seeds or hemp hearts
- 2 tablespoons toasted coconut flakes
*For toddlers under 1, use maple syrup instead of honey.
Bringing This Recipe to Life (Step-by-Step)
This is so easy, you’ll laugh. No baking, no fancy skills needed. Just mix, spread, and freeze. Let’s do this!
- Line a standard baking sheet with parchment paper. Make sure it lies flat!
- In a large bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, peanut butter, maple syrup, vanilla, and salt. Whisk it like you mean it until it’s completely smooth and dreamy.
- Pour that gorgeous, creamy mixture onto your prepared baking sheet. Use a spatula to spread it into a nice, even rectangle, about 1/4-inch thick. Don’t stress about perfection!
- Now for the best part! Sprinkle all your chosen mix-ins over the top. Press them down gently so they stick. This is where the fun texture comes from!
- Very carefully, place the tray in the freezer. Let it set for at least 4 hours, or overnight. Trust me, it’s worth the wait.
- Once it’s totally frozen solid, take it out. Grab the parchment paper edges and lift the whole slab onto your counter.
- Break it into pieces! You can use your hands for rustic chunks, or a knife for neater bars. It’s your snack, your rules!

A Quick Q&A on This Recipe
Can I make this dairy-free?
You bet! Just swap the Greek yogurt for a thick, plain coconut milk yogurt. The texture might be a little softer, but it’s just as delicious.
My bark is too hard to break! What did I do wrong?
You probably spread it a bit too thin. No worries! Just let it sit on the counter for 2-3 minutes after freezing. It will soften up enough to snap into perfect pieces.
Is this really a good bedtime snack?
Yes! The combo of protein from the yogurt and healthy fats from the nut butter is super satisfying. It helps keep little tummies full and happy through the night. It’s a bedtime game-changer.
See? I told you this recipe was magic. It’s a crunchy, creamy, happy-making miracle that everyone will love. If you love the portability of bark but want a handheld cup, you’ll adore these Frozen Yogurt Granola Cups.
