Instructions
 

Prepare the Base:

    In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, almond flour, honey or maple syrup, melted coconut oil, vanilla extract, and salt. Stir the mixture well until all ingredients are thoroughly incorporated.

      Press the Base:

        Line an 8x8-inch baking dish with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal later. Pour the oat mixture into the prepared dish and press it down firmly and evenly with the back of a spatula to form a solid base layer. Set aside while you prepare the next layer.

          Make the Raspberry Layer:

            In a blender, add the fresh raspberries, chia seeds, honey or maple syrup, lemon juice, and vanilla extract. Blend on medium speed until the mixture is completely smooth. Pour the raspberry mixture over the pressed base, spreading it evenly with a spatula.

              Add the Yogurt Layer:

                In a separate mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, honey or maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Whisk the ingredients together until smooth and creamy. Gently spread this yogurt mixture over the raspberry layer, smoothing it out until uniform.

                  Sprinkle the Crunch Topping:

                    Evenly distribute the granola and sliced almonds (if using) over the yogurt layer. Lightly press down on the toppings to help them adhere to the yogurt layer.

                      Freeze:

                        Cover the dish securely with plastic wrap or aluminum foil and place it in the freezer. Allow it to freeze for a minimum of 4 to 6 hours, or until the bars are completely firm.

                          Slice and Serve:

                            Once fully frozen, let the bars sit at room temperature for about 5-10 minutes to soften slightly for easier slicing. Use the overhanging parchment paper to lift the bars out of the baking dish. Carefully slice them into desired bar sizes with a sharp knife and serve immediately.

                              Store:

                                Any leftover bars can be stored in an airtight container in the freezer for up to one month, ensuring they stay fresh and delicious.
