Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C).

    Make the Crust:

      - In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, almond flour, shredded coconut, brown sugar, and salt.

        - Pour in the melted unsalted butter and mix until the ingredients resemble a sandy texture.

          - Transfer the mixture into a greased or parchment-lined 8x8-inch baking dish, pressing it firmly and evenly across the bottom.

            - Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes until the crust turns golden brown. Once baked, set it aside to cool completely.

              Prepare the Pineapple Layer:

                - In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the crushed pineapple, honey (or maple syrup), vanilla extract, and cornstarch.

                  - Stir the mixture continuously until it thickens, which should take about 3-5 minutes.

                    - Take off the heat and allow it to cool slightly.

                      Make the Yogurt Layer:

                        - In another mixing bowl, whisk together the plain Greek yogurt, honey (or agave syrup), vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt until the mixture is smooth and well combined.

                          Assemble the Bars:

                            - Once the crust has cooled, evenly spread the pineapple layer over the top.

                              - Gently pour the yogurt layer onto the pineapple, using a spatula to smooth the surface.

                                Add the Topping:

                                  - Generously sprinkle the granola and crushed nuts over the yogurt layer to add a delightful crunch.

                                    Freeze:

                                      - Cover the dish tightly with plastic wrap and place it in the freezer for at least 4 hours, or until the bars are completely firm.

                                        Serve:

                                          - Once frozen, remove the dish from the freezer and let it sit at room temperature for a few minutes to soften slightly before cutting into squares.

                                            - Serve and savor your refreshing Tropical Paradise Frozen Yogurt Pineapple Crumble Bars!
