1tablespoonpowdered sugar

¼cupmelted white chocolatefor drizzle

Instructions

In a microwave safe bowl, combine honey and peanut butter. Microwave for 30 seconds to soften the peanut butter, creating a runny consistency. Add vanilla extract. Whisk until smooth.

In a large mixing bowl combine oats, puffed rice cereal, shredded coconut, salt, cinnamon, almonds, and freeze dried strawberries.

Pour peanut butter/honey mixture over the dry ingredients, Stir to combine. It may help to use your hands to ensure everything is fully mixed.

Press the mix into a parchment paper lined, 8-inch square pan. This is essential to ensuring the bars stay together. Freeze for at least 2 hours.

Once the bars are frozen, gently slice into 16 equal-sized granola bars.

To make the yogurt coating, whisk together Greek yogurt, softened cream cheese, powdered sugar and milk.

Dip the top of each granola bar into the yogurt coating and place on a parchment lined baking sheet. Drizzle with melted white chocolate and sprinkle with additional freeze-dried strawberries if desired. Store in the freezer!

Notes

Get creative with the mix-ins! Dried fruit can be swapped if you cannot find freeze-dried. Almonds can be replaced with any nuts or seeds of choice (or even a mix of a few). The coconut can be left out and replaced with additional oats.

For the glaze: cream cheese helps create a more smooth, even consistency for the yogurt coating, however it can be replaced with an additional ¼ cup of 5% Greek yogurt if needed.
