Equipment

  • 1 Food processor or high speed blender

Ingredients

Strawberry Yogurt Topping

  • 2 cups frozen strawberries
  • 1 tablespoon coconut oil
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup (optional)
  • 2 tablespoons chia seeds
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1 cup unsweetened Greek yogurt (plain or vanilla)

Crust

  • 1 cup pumpkin seeds
  • ¼ cup hemp seeds
  • ½ cup unsweetened coconut
  • 2 cups rolled oats large flake or quick oats
  • ⅓ cup coconut oil
  • 3 tablespoons maple syrup (optional)
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla

Instructions

  • In a medium pot, add the coconut oil and frozen strawberries. Stir frequently over medium heat until berries have softened. Reduce heat to low, and add the maple syrup and chia seeds. Stir frequently for 8-10 minutes, mashing up the berries as you go.
  • Remove from heat, pour into a medium bowl, cover with saran wrap and let sit on the counter to thicken for 8-10 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, in a food processor or high speed blender, add the pumpkin seeds, hemp seeds, and oats and blend until well combined.
  • Melt the coconut oil. Then add melted coconut oil, maple syrup and vanilla to the food processor or blender and mix together until the ingredients are combined.
  • In a 9-inch square pan, pour in the mixture and pat down with a spatula.
  • Add the yogurt on top and spread out evenly. Add the strawberry chia mixture and swirl in with a knife.
  • Cover with saran wrap or foil and place in the freezer for 10-15 minutes or until slightly firm.
  • Remove from the freezer. Slice into bars and individually wrap or place bars in an airtight container and place back in the freezer for at least 1-2 hours. Bars can be stored for 3-4 weeks in the freezer.

Notes

It can be helpful to remove the bars from the freezer and let them soften slightly before serving!
You can omit the maple syrup if you like, it will be slightly less sweet but still delicious!
