Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups rolled oats (gluten-free if needed)
- 1 1/2 cup brown rice Krispies
- 1/4 cup shredded unsweetened coconut
- 1/4 cup whole roasted almonds (roughly chopped)
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup peanut butter or almond butter
- 1/2 cup honey
- 1 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
- 1 cup dried blueberries
- 1 tablespoon water
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon gelatin
- 1/4 cup Greek yogurt
- 1 tablespoon honey
- Pinch of salt
- 2 cups powdered sugar
Instructions
- Line a 9×13 square Pyrex pan with wax or parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, combine rolled oats, brown rice Krispies, shredded coconut, chopped almonds, chia seeds, and salt.
- In a small microwave-safe bowl, combine peanut or almond butter and honey. Microwave for 30 seconds to 1 minute until hot and pourable. Mix in 1 1/2 teaspoons of vanilla.
- Pour the hot honey mixture over the dry oat mixture and stir until well-coated. Gently fold in the dried blueberries.
- Transfer the mixture into the lined pan, pressing down tightly.
- Cover and place in the freezer for 1-2 hours to firm up.
- For the yogurt coating, combine water and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract; sprinkle gelatin over it and whisk until smooth.
- In another bowl, whisk together Greek yogurt, honey, and a pinch of salt, then microwave in 15-second bursts until warm. Add gelatin mixture to yogurt until fully dissolved, then mix in powdered sugar until smooth.
- Dip each bar’s bottom into the yogurt coating and place on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Let sit at room temperature for a few hours until the coating is dry.
- Once dry, flip the bars and drizzle any remaining coating over them, allowing to dry again.
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature.
Notes
Press the mixture down firmly to ensure the bars hold together. You can also freeze the individual bars for longer storage.
