Ingredients
  

1 ½ cups rolled oats

1 cup plain Greek yogurt

½ cup pure maple syrup

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

½ teaspoon ground cinnamon

¼ teaspoon salt

1 tablespoon coconut oil, melted

½ cup chopped nuts (such as walnuts or pecans)

½ cup mini chocolate chips (optional for extra indulgence)

Cooking spray or parchment paper for line the baking sheet

Instructions
 

Prepare the Baking Sheet: Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly coat it with cooking spray to ensure that the oat rings do not stick while baking.

    Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, ground cinnamon, and salt. Use a spoon to stir the mixture thoroughly, ensuring all dry ingredients are evenly distributed.

      Mix Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, pure maple syrup, vanilla extract, and melted coconut oil until the mixture is smooth and creamy, creating a cohesive blend of flavors.

        Combine Mixtures: Pour the creamy yogurt mixture into the bowl containing the dry ingredients. Gently stir until all the oats are well-covered with the wet mixture. If you’re adding chopped nuts or mini chocolate chips, fold them in gently at this stage for extra texture and flavor.

          Shape the Rings: With clean hands, take a handful of the mixture and mold it into rings approximately 2-3 inches in diameter on the prepared baking sheet. While shaping, make sure to keep the centers wide enough since the mixture will puff up slightly during baking.

            Bake: Transfer the baking sheet to the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes. Keep an eye on them; they should turn a beautiful golden brown color and feel firm to the touch when done.

              Cool Down: After baking, remove the oat rings from the oven and allow them to cool completely on a wire rack. This will ensure they maintain their texture.

                Freeze: Once they have cooled, arrange the oat rings in a single layer on a tray and place them in the freezer. Allow them to freeze for at least 2 hours or until they are solid.

                  Serve: These delicious frozen yogurt maple oat rings can be enjoyed as a nutritious snack or a delightful breakfast treat! Store them in an airtight container in the freezer, where they will keep fresh for up to a month.
