Ingredients
  

2 cups rolled oats

1 cup unsalted nuts (such as walnuts or almonds), chopped

1/2 cup sunflower seeds or pumpkin seeds

1/2 cup unsweetened shredded coconut

1/2 cup maple syrup

1/4 cup coconut oil, melted

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 cup plain Greek yogurt

1/4 cup honey or agave syrup (for additional sweetness)

1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Pinch of salt

Optional toppings: fresh berries, chocolate chips, or dried fruit

Instructions
 

Prepare the Nut Mixture: In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, chopped nuts, sunflower seeds (or pumpkin seeds), and shredded coconut. Stir the ingredients together until they are well mixed, ensuring even distribution of all dry components.

    Mix Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the maple syrup, melted coconut oil, vanilla extract, Greek yogurt, honey (or agave syrup), ground cinnamon, and a pinch of salt. Continue whisking until the mixture is smooth and fully combined.

      Combine Mixtures: Pour the wet mixture over the dry ingredients and stir thoroughly. Ensure that all dry components are evenly coated with the wet mixture.

        Press into Pan: Line an 8x8-inch square baking pan with parchment paper, allowing some overhang for easy removal later. Transfer the mixture into the prepared pan and spread it out evenly. Use a spatula or your hands to firmly press the mixture into the pan, compacting it to ensure the bars hold together once frozen.

          Freeze: Place the pan in the freezer and let it chill for at least 2 hours, or until the mixture is completely solid and firm to the touch.

            Cut into Bars: Once frozen, carefully lift the granola mixture out of the pan using the parchment paper edges. Transfer it to a cutting board and slice it into bars or squares, as per your preference.

              Serve or Store: Enjoy the granola bars as refreshing frozen treats right away, or store them in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 1 month. For a softer texture, allow the bars to sit at room temperature for a few minutes before serving.

                  Presentation Tips: Serve the granola bars on a platter, drizzled with a little extra honey and topped with fresh berries for a pop of color and flavor.
