A sweet granola base layered with vanilla yogurt, blackberries, and a drizzle of almond butter – these bars are vegan, gluten-free, refined sugar free, raw and no-bake. A quick, healthy and refreshing treat!

Spring is in the air and how beautiful and vibrant are these Blackberry Yogurt Bars? The stewed blackberries mixed with the vanilla yogurt creates the most gorgeous natural hue of pinks and purples. Pop them in the freezer and then top with fresh blackberries and almond butter drizzle right before you devour this perfect Spring/Summer treat!

As soon as I bit into these for the first time I thought I’ll be making them all summer long. They are the most perfect, refreshing, frozen, poolside treat on a hot sunny day. These bars are made with simple, vegan, gluten-free ingredients, contain no refined sugar, and they are wholesome, raw and no-bake. Meaning you can have these ready in no time (well, besides the freezing time).

Blackberry Yogurt Bars are made up of an almond/oat base, a creamy yogurt layer swirled with stewed blackberries, and topped with fresher blackberries and an almond butter drizzle.

If you’ve read my recent posts, you’ll know that I’ve been on an almond butter kick. I can’t get enough of it. One day I had a bowl of fruit (blackberries, strawberries, bananas) and drizzled some almond butter on it. I took a bite of the blackberry with the almond butter and was blown away. Blackberries and almond butter pair perfectly. I never heard of or saw these two paired before – but now I’m quite literally obsessed.

Ingredients – Blackberry Yogurt Bars

• Almond Flour – to make our crunchy base layer.

• Rolled Oats – also to make our crunchy base layer. I have not tried it, but I am sure you can substitute all almond flour or all oat flour.

• Medjool Dates – to help our base layer stick together! A great source of potassium and fiber.

• Maple Syrup – to naturally sweeten up our base layer.

• Salt – just a pinch to bring out all the flavors.

• Vanilla Extract – for that classic flavor!

• Vegan Vanilla Yogurt – to make our yogurt layer. I used Silk Vegan Vanilla Yogurt, but I am sure any flavor will work. Also, non-vegan yogurt will work too.

• Blackberries – stewed and fresh! Packed with vitamin C and fiber.

• Almond Butter – ahhh my favorite. Lather it on! Check out my recipe for the best homemade almond butter!

How to Make Blackberry Yogurt Bars

As easy as 1, 2, 3!

In a food processor add the almond flour, oats, dates, maple syrup, salt and vanilla. Process until it forms into a ball. Press and flatten the mixture into a parchment lined 9×11 or 8×8 dish and place in the freezer. Heat the blackberries and maple syrup in a pot over low heat until the blackberries release most of their juices. Then, smash the blackberries until they are mostly broken down. Remove the dish from the freezer and spoon over the yogurt. Next, spoon over the stewed blackberries and use a spoon to swirl it all together – unleash that inner artist! Place it back in the freezer overnight or for at least 2 hours, until the yogurt layer is solid. Top with fresh blackberries and drizzle with almond butter. Cut into squares and voila! Keep them in the freezer and remove about 15 minutes before enjoying.

Enjoy these yogurt bars for breakfast, a snack, a treat by the pool, or as a dessert. Stash them in the freezer to keep them nice and cold all summer long.
