How to Make No-Bake Greek Yogurt Peanut Butter Chocolate Oat Crunch Bars
Step 1: Line Your Pan
Line an 8×8-inch pan with parchment paper, letting some hang over the edges for easy removal.
Step 2: Combine Wet Ingredients
In a bowl, stir together peanut butter, Greek yogurt, and honey (or maple syrup) until smooth and creamy.
Step 3: Add Cocoa Powder
Add the cocoa powder to the wet mixture and mix until fully incorporated.
Step 4: Add Dry Ingredients
Stir in the rolled oats and crushed nuts or granola until everything is well combined and sticky.
Step 5: Pack Into Pan
Transfer the mixture into the prepared pan and press down firmly with a spatula or the bottom of a glass to compact the bars.
Step 6: Chill
Refrigerate for at least 1 hour (or up to overnight) so the bars set and hold together when sliced.
Step 7: Slice & Enjoy
Lift out with the parchment paper, slice into 9 or 12 bars, and enjoy!
