Healthy Frozen Yogurt Oatmeal Jam Coins
Introduction
Healthy Frozen Yogurt Oatmeal Jam Coins are a perfectly balanced snack: creamy, fruity, and satisfyingly chewy, all in a refreshing bite-sized form. They’re the ideal make-ahead treat for busy days, healthy dessert cravings, or as a cheerful addition to brunch spreads and kids’ lunchboxes.
These coins are irresistibly pretty layered treats—but even more appealing is how easy and flexible they are, using ingredients you probably already have at home. With nourishing oats, protein-rich yogurt, and naturally sweet fruit jam, these coins let you indulge in a guilt-free frozen snack that truly satisfies.
Why You’ll Love These Healthy Frozen Yogurt Oatmeal Jam Coins
What makes these coins stand out is the combination of wholesome rolled oats for chewiness, a tangy yogurt layer, and a swirl of jam for fruity brightness. When frozen, they’re cool and creamy with just the right heft—like a handheld parfait! Kids adore them, and adults will appreciate their nutrition profile, natural sweetness, and customizable flavors.
Crafting the Oatmeal Base
For the base of your coins, combine rolled oats with a bit of honey or maple syrup, and Greek yogurt for binding. Patting this mixture into even rounds is a breeze, especially if you use Reynolds Kitchens Brown Parchment Paper Roll on your tray to keep things mess-free and guarantee perfect release after freezing.
Creating the Frozen Yogurt Layer
Thick, high-protein Greek yogurt delivers luscious texture and richness. Spread a generous dollop atop each oat disk, then top with your favorite fruit jam. Don’t be afraid to swirl the jam slightly for a marbled look! For blending flavored yogurts or adding fruit to your mix, the Ninja BL610 Professional 72 Oz Countertop Blender is excellent for quick prep.
Layer, Freeze, and Serve
Once your coins are assembled, all you need is a little patience: freeze until firm. If you’re prepping these for meal prep or portion control, store them in Rubbermaid Brilliance Food Storage Containers—they’ll keep fresh, and you can grab a coin (or two) straight from the freezer when you need a snack on-the-go.
Fun Flavor Variations and Serving Suggestions
Switch up the fruit jams for variety—raspberry, blueberry, or apricot are particularly delicious. For a crunchier texture, briefly pulse the oats in a Ninja BL610 Professional 72 Oz Countertop Blender before mixing, or swap the oat base for granola. Serve coins over a salad in a Bentgo Salad Container for a surprising sweet note at lunch, or arrange them on a pretty plate for a dessert board with berries and nuts.
Nutritional Benefits
Each Frozen Yogurt Oatmeal Jam Coin provides slow-digesting carbs from oats, protein and probiotics from yogurt, and natural sweetness from fruit jam. One coin typically contains 70–90 calories, depending on your jam and yogurt choices—a snack you’ll feel good about enjoying or sharing!
