Ingredients
  

2 cups rolled oats

1/2 cup almond butter (or your choice of nut butter)

1/4 cup honey or maple syrup

1/4 teaspoon salt

1 1/2 cups Greek yogurt (plain or vanilla)

1 cup mixed berries (fresh or frozen, including strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries)

1 tablespoon lemon juice

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Optional: 1/4 cup chopped nuts or seeds for added crunch

Instructions
 

Prepare the Base: In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, almond butter, honey (or maple syrup), and salt. Stir well until the ingredients form a thick, cohesive dough-like mixture.

    Line the Pan: Take an 8x8-inch square baking dish and line it with parchment paper, ensuring to leave an overhang on the sides for easy removal later. Press the prepared oat mixture firmly and evenly into the bottom of the dish to create a solid, even crust. Set the pan aside.

      Make the Berry Yogurt Mixture: In another mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, lemon juice, and vanilla extract. If you’re using fresh berries, chop them into small, bite-sized pieces. For frozen berries, make sure they’re fully thawed and drained to remove excess moisture. Gently fold the berries into the yogurt mixture, ensuring a balanced distribution.

        Assemble the Squares: Carefully pour the berry yogurt mixture over the prepared oat crust. Use a spatula to spread the yogurt layer evenly, ensuring it covers the oat base completely.

          Swirl It Up: For a visually appealing marbled effect, take a knife or toothpick and gently swirl through the top layer of the yogurt, being careful not to fully combine it with the crust underneath. Aim for a blend where swirls of berry color are visible, with hints of the oat crust peeking through.

            Freeze: Cover the baking dish tightly with plastic wrap or aluminum foil, then place it in the freezer. Allow it to freeze for a minimum of 4 hours, or until the entire mixture is completely solid.

              Slice and Serve: Once frozen, remove the squares from the pan by lifting them out using the overhanging parchment paper. Place the block on a cutting board and slice into squares or bars, depending on your preference.

                Optional Toppings: For an added crunch, feel free to sprinkle chopped nuts or seeds on top just before serving.

                  Enjoy: These squares can be enjoyed immediately or stored in an airtight container in the freezer for up to a month for future indulgence.
