Baked Yogurt Bars Recipe

Introduction

Baked Yogurt Bars are a simple, protein-packed treat that’s perfect for breakfast or a healthy snack. Light and creamy with a subtle sweetness, they’re easy to make and customizable to your taste.

Ingredients

• 2 cups plain Greek yogurt
• 4 large eggs
• ¼ cup oat flour
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 2-4 tbsp maple syrup (optional)

Instructions

1. Step 1: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease or line an 8×8-inch baking dish.
2. Step 2: In a bowl or blender, combine the Greek yogurt, eggs, oat flour, vanilla extract, and maple syrup if using. Mix until the batter is completely smooth.
3. Step 3: Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish and smooth the top with a spatula.
4. Step 4: Bake for 35 to 45 minutes, or until the edges are set and the center is just slightly jiggly.
5. Step 5: Allow the bars to cool at room temperature. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours before slicing into bars. Enjoy warm with a drizzle of maple syrup or a dollop of whipped cream if desired.

Tips & Variations

• For a gluten-free option, ensure your oat flour is certified gluten-free.
• Add fresh berries or chopped nuts to the batter for extra texture and flavor.
• If you prefer less sweetness, reduce or omit the maple syrup entirely.
• Use flavored yogurt like vanilla or honey to add sweetness without extra syrup.

Storage

Store baked yogurt bars in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. They can be enjoyed cold or reheated briefly in the microwave. For longer storage, freeze the bars for up to one month and thaw overnight in the fridge before serving.

FAQs

Can I use regular yogurt instead of Greek yogurt?

Greek yogurt works best because it’s thicker and yields a firmer texture. Using regular yogurt might make the bars softer and less structured.

What if I don’t have oat flour?

You can substitute with almond flour or whole wheat flour, but keep in mind the texture and flavor may change slightly.

Yogurt Base

• 2 cups plain Greek yogurt
• 4 large eggs
• ¼ cup oat flour
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 2–4 tbsp maple syrup (optional)

Instructions

1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and either line an 8×8 inch baking dish with parchment paper or lightly grease it to prevent sticking.
2. Mix Ingredients: In a mixing bowl or blender, combine the plain Greek yogurt, eggs, oat flour, vanilla extract, and maple syrup (if using). Blend or stir thoroughly until the mixture is completely smooth and uniform in texture.
3. Prepare for Baking: Pour the smooth batter into the prepared baking dish, then use a spatula or back of a spoon to smooth out the top evenly for uniform baking.
4. Bake: Place the baking dish in the oven and bake for 35 to 45 minutes. The bars are done when the edges are set and firm while the center remains just slightly jiggly to the touch.
5. Cool and Chill: Remove from the oven and allow the bars to cool to room temperature. Then refrigerate for at least 2 hours to fully set before slicing into bars.
6. Serve: Enjoy the bars chilled, or warm them slightly and top with additional maple syrup or whipped cream for a decadent treat.

Notes

• You can adjust the sweetness by varying the amount of maple syrup or omitting it altogether for a low-sugar option.
• Oat flour can be substituted with almond flour or another gluten-free flour if preferred.
• Ensure not to overbake to keep the bars moist; the slight jiggle in the center is perfect.
• Store the bars covered in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
• These bars are great for meal prep breakfasts or healthy snacks on the go.
