Step 1: Prepare the Baking Dish

Frequently Asked Questions

1. Can I use regular yogurt instead of Greek yogurt?

2. Can I make these dairy-free?
   Absolutely! Use a dairy-free yogurt and a plant-based sweetener like maple syrup.
3. What if I don’t like peanut butter?
   You can substitute almond butter, cashew butter, or sunflower seed butter.
4. Can I add protein powder?
   Yes—add a scoop of vanilla or unflavored protein powder and adjust the sweetness if needed.
5. How do I prevent freezer burn?
   Wrap bars individually or place parchment paper between layers when storing.
