Ingredients
  

For the Base:

1 cup rolled oats

½ cup almond flour (or any nut flour of your choice)

¼ cup cocoa powder

3 tablespoons maple syrup or honey

¼ cup coconut oil, melted

½ teaspoon vanilla extract

A pinch of salt

For the Mocha Yogurt Filling:

2 cups Greek yogurt (vanilla or plain)

2 tablespoons instant coffee granules (adjust to taste)

¼ cup cocoa powder

1 tablespoon maple syrup or honey (more if desired)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

For Topping (optional):

Dark chocolate chips or cacao nibs

Crushed nuts (almonds or walnuts)

Shredded coconut

Instructions
 

Prepare the Base:

    - In a medium bowl, combine the rolled oats, almond flour, cocoa powder, maple syrup, melted coconut oil, vanilla extract, and salt. Mix until well combined and a dough-like consistency forms.

      - Line an 8x8-inch baking dish with parchment paper, letting it hang over the edges for easy removal later.

        - Press the mixture evenly into the bottom of the prepared dish. Use your hands or the back of a spatula to ensure it's packed tightly. Place in the freezer while you prepare the filling.

          Make the Mocha Yogurt Filling:

            - In a large bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, instant coffee granules, cocoa powder, maple syrup, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy. Adjust the sweetness as desired.

              Assemble the Sandwich Bars:

                - Remove the base from the freezer and spread the mocha yogurt mixture evenly over the chilled base layer.

                  - If desired, sprinkle dark chocolate chips, crushed nuts, or shredded coconut over the top of the yogurt layer for added texture and flavor.

                    Freeze:

                      - Place the assembled dish back in the freezer and freeze for at least 3 hours or until the filling is firm. For best results, let it freeze overnight.

                        Cut and Serve:

                          - Once frozen, lift the bars out of the dish using the parchment paper. Cut into squares or bars with a sharp knife.

                            - Serve immediately or store in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 2 weeks. Enjoy your creamy, dreamy Frozen Mocha Yogurt Sandwich Bars!
