A quick and easy homemade snack combining thick Greek yogurt, cinnamon, and crunchy granola for a wholesome and indulgent treat.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups (480 ml) Greek yogurt, plain or vanilla flavored
  • 1 ½ cups (135 g) granola (with oats, nuts, and seeds)
  • 1 teaspoon (2.5 g) ground cinnamon
  • 2 tablespoons (30 ml) honey or maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon (5 ml) vanilla extract (optional)
  • ¼ cup (30 g) chopped nuts (walnuts or pecans, optional)
  • Optional add-ins: dried cranberries, pumpkin seeds, dark chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Mix the Yogurt Base (5 minutes): In a medium bowl, combine 2 cups (480 ml) of Greek yogurt with 1 teaspoon (2.5 g) ground cinnamon, 2 tablespoons (30 ml) honey or maple syrup, and 1 teaspoon (5 ml) vanilla extract. Stir gently until well blended but still thick.
  2. Prepare the Tray (2 minutes): Line a 9×13 inch (23×33 cm) baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
  3. Spread the Yogurt (5 minutes): Pour the yogurt mixture onto the lined tray and spread evenly to about ¼-inch (6 mm) thickness.
  4. Add the Granola and Nuts (3 minutes): Sprinkle 1 ½ cups (135 g) granola evenly over the yogurt. Add ¼ cup (30 g) chopped nuts if using. Press gently to ensure granola sticks without crushing.
  5. Create the Swirl Effect (2 minutes): Lightly swirl the granola into the yogurt with a butter knife or skewer for a marbled look (optional).
  6. Chill to Set (at least 2 hours): Transfer the tray to the freezer (about 1.5 hours) or refrigerator until firm but not frozen solid.
  7. Cut into Pieces (5 minutes): Lift the bark out using parchment edges and cut into squares or rectangles with a sharp knife.

Notes

Use thick Greek yogurt for best results; strain if watery. Don’t overload granola to avoid crumbling. Swirling granola into yogurt is optional but adds visual appeal. Chill long enough for firm set. Use a warm knife for clean cuts. For dairy-free, swap Greek yogurt with coconut-based yogurt. For gluten-free, ensure granola is gluten-free. Store in airtight container up to 5 days in fridge or freeze for longer storage.
