Ingredients
  

For the Oatmeal Base:

1 cup rolled oats

1/2 cup almond flour (or whole wheat flour)

1/4 cup brown sugar

1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/3 cup coconut oil, melted (or unsalted butter)

2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

For the Yogurt Filling:

2 cups Greek yogurt (plain or vanilla)

1/4 cup honey or maple syrup (adjust based on sweetness preference)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 tablespoon lemon juice

For the Jam Layer:

1/2 cup fruit jam (strawberry, raspberry, or your choice)

Optional: fresh fruit to fold into the yogurt layer (like blueberries or chopped strawberries)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8x8 inch baking dish with parchment paper, leaving some overhang to make removing the bars easier.

    Make the Oatmeal Base: In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, almond flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt. Stir well to mix all dry ingredients. Add the melted coconut oil, honey (or maple syrup), and vanilla extract. Mix until everything is combined and the mixture holds together when pressed.

      Bake the Oatmeal Base: Press the oatmeal mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish and smooth the top with the back of a spatula. Bake in the preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes or until lightly golden. Let it cool completely in the pan.

        Prepare the Yogurt Filling: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, honey (or maple syrup), vanilla extract, and lemon juice until smooth. If using, gently fold in fresh fruit.

          Layer the Yogurt Mixture: Once the oatmeal base is completely cooled, spread the yogurt mixture evenly over the baked oatmeal layer using a spatula.

            Spread the Jam: Carefully dollop the jam over the yogurt layer. Use a knife or toothpick to swirl the jam into the yogurt for a marbled effect, but don’t mix it too much; you want visible swirls of jam.

              Freeze the Bars: Cover the baking dish with plastic wrap or aluminum foil and place it in the freezer. Freeze for at least 4-6 hours, or until completely solid.

                Cut and Serve: Once frozen, lift the bars out of the pan using the parchment overhang. Place on a cutting board and cut into squares or bars. Serve immediately or keep them in an airtight container in the freezer until ready to enjoy.
