Ingredients
  

2 cups rolled oats

1/2 cup honey or maple syrup

1/4 cup almond butter (or any nut butter of choice)

1 cup Greek yogurt (plain or vanilla)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 cup fresh or frozen cherries, pitted and chopped

1/2 cup unsweetened shredded coconut (optional)

1 teaspoon cinnamon (optional)

A pinch of salt

Additional cherries for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Base: In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, honey (or maple syrup), almond butter, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt. Mix thoroughly until all the oats are coated and well combined.

    Press the Mixture: Line an 8x8 inch baking dish with parchment paper for easy removal. Transfer the oat mixture into the prepared dish and press it down firmly using a spatula or your hands, ensuring it's even and compact.

      Create the Yogurt Layer: In another bowl, mix the Greek yogurt with vanilla extract. Fold in the chopped cherries gently.

        Layer the Yogurt: Pour the yogurt and cherry mixture over the pressed oat base in the baking dish, spreading it evenly to cover the entire surface.

          Freeze: Place the baking dish in the freezer and let it freeze for at least 4 hours or until solid.

            Slice and Serve: Once frozen, remove the squares from the dish by lifting the parchment paper. Cut into squares (or bars) and serve immediately, garnishing with additional cherries if desired. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the freezer.

              Enjoy: These Cherry Bliss Frozen Yogurt Oatmeal Squares are perfect for a refreshing snack or healthy dessert on a hot day!
