INGREDIENT NOTES:

FRESH STRAWBERRIES:

  • Strawberry is basically the main flavor in this dessert, which provides a sweet taste to the bars. Not only will these help in adding freshness to the dessert, but they will also provide a nice color. Fresh is the best choice, but you can use the ones in frozen form as well if you require. Be sure that you defrost them at a normal temperature and then remove the extra water from them.

NON-FAT GREEK YOGURT:

  • This yogurt is lighter for Weight Watchers to use, and it can easily bring a soft element to the bliss bars. Creaminess also comes along when we use this item in the dessert. If you do not have non-fat Greek yogurt with you, you can consider the use of plain yogurt, but with a low level of fat in it.

ROLLED OATS:

  • Rolled oats actually have fiber in them, and we basically use them for making the basic shape of the bliss bars by combining all the products. The consistency of the bars will become a bit chewy when we add the rolled oats. Rather than using rolled oats, you can also try using oat flour.

ZERO-CALORIE SWEETENER:

  • We will be avoiding the use of sugar in this recipe, as the calories can rise with its use. We choose the use of this sweetener, which can give the sweet taste to the dessert as well as keep the calories on the lower side overall. Coconut sugar or even normal sugar are alternative options here, but the points will definitely rise.

EGG:

  • Egg is important in this recipe since we will be needing something to keep the shape of the bars together. A substitute for this can be a flax egg.

BAKING POWDER:

  • Not only does it give softness to the dessert, but it also bakes the bliss bars in the oven.

SALT:

  • Another component involves salt, which can eliminate any unnecessary sweet taste in the dessert.

INSTRUCTIONS:

  1. Warming your oven is the first step.
  2. Warm it up to 180°C.
  3. Use the baking paper to arrange it on the pan.
  4. Combine the sweetener, vanilla, egg, and yogurt in a bowl.
  5. Then comes salt, baking powder, and rolled oats in the bowl as well.
  6. Mix everything thoroughly.
  7. Include the pieces of strawberries in the mix as well, and be gentle with them.
  8. Then comes the pouring of this batter into the pan.
  9. Baking duration is only 25 minutes.
  10. Cool it down and then slice it up to have delicious bliss bars.

SERVING SUGGESTIONS:

  • You can refrigerate these bars to have a cool dessert feeling if you like.
  • To make the bliss bars look fancier, place some pieces of strawberries on top of them.
  • Whipped topping (light) can be an option to use for presentation as well.

TIPS:

  • When slicing the strawberries, be sure the cuts are equal and small.
  • Only bake the dessert for a decent amount of time; do not bake it for too long.
  • Wait with some patience so that the dessert cools down properly so that you can slice it up to make the bliss bars.

STORAGE INFORMATION:

FRIDGE:

  • 4 days can be the limit to keep these bliss bars inside a tight box.

FREEZER:

  • Take the separate bliss bars and wrap them up to place for a maximum time of two months.

FAQs:

Will frozen fruit work well for this dessert recipe?

  • Frozen strawberries are a good alternative to the fresh ones if you actually need them. It is important that you consider defrosting and then taking out the excess liquid from them.

What will be the sweetness level for this dessert?

  • The sweetness of these bliss bars will be slight and not very strong.
