Ingredients
For the bark:
- 1 small-medium North Carolina sweetpotato
- 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons natural peanut butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
For topping (optional):
- 3 large strawberries, sliced thin
- ¼ cup higher-protein granola
Instructions
- Line a small baking sheet with parchment paper. Set aside for now.
- Place the sweetpotato on a microwave-safe plate. Poke a few holes with a fork and cover with a damp paper towel. Microwave for 5 minutes, or until the sweetpotato is very tender. Let cool until comfortable to handle.
- Scoop the sweetpotato flesh into a medium mixing bowl, discarding the skin. Mash the sweetpotato with the back of a fork, getting it as smooth as possible.
- Add the yogurt, maple syrup, peanut butter, and vanilla. Stir until well combined.
- Pour the yogurt mixture onto the parchment-lined baking sheet. Use the back of a spoon to spread it into a rectangle that’s about ¼-inch thick.
- Place the sliced strawberries on top of the yogurt mixture, then sprinkle the granola on top. (Or add whatever toppings you prefer to use).
- Place the baking sheet in the freezer for approximately 3 hours, or until frozen. Remove and break into pieces. Enjoy any that you’d like now, and store leftovers in the freezer in an airtight container. Use within 3 weeks for best quality.
Notes
- Depending on the thickness of the yogurt bark, you may want to let it sit at room temperature for a few minutes before eating to make it easier to bite.
- Toppings are optional but enhance the flavor and texture of the yogurt bark. You can choose any toppings you’d like: fresh fruit, dried fruit, nuts, drizzled chocolate, granola, other cereals, coconut, chia seeds, etc.
- Nutrition analysis below is based on using nonfat plain Greek yogurt; you can use whatever fat content you prefer. Full fat yogurt will increase calories and fat but does offer a bit more richness in texture. You can also alternatively use vanilla Greek yogurt, in which case you should eliminate the vanilla and maple syrup in the recipe.
