Ingredients
  

2 cups plain Greek yogurt

1/2 cup pure maple syrup

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/4 teaspoon salt

1 cup walnuts, finely chopped

1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)

Cooking spray or parchment paper for lining the baking sheet

Instructions
 

Prepare Your Workspace: Begin by lining a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy removal, or lightly spray it with cooking spray to prevent the yogurt from sticking. Ensure your workspace is clear and organized for a smooth cooking process.

    Mix Yogurt Base: In a large mixing bowl, add the plain Greek yogurt, pure maple syrup, vanilla extract, and salt. Using a whisk (or a sturdy fork), mix the ingredients vigorously until you achieve a smooth and creamy consistency, ensuring all elements are well-combined.

      Incorporate Walnuts: Gently fold in the finely chopped walnuts and ground cinnamon (if using) using a spatula or wooden spoon, making sure that the walnuts are evenly distributed throughout the yogurt mixture for a delightful crunch in every bite.

        Form Circles: With the help of a spoon or a small ice cream scoop, carefully drop rounded mounds of the yogurt mixture onto the prepared baking sheet. Aim for circles that are approximately 1-2 inches in diameter, and leave a little space (about an inch) between each mound for even freezing.

          Freeze: Place the baking sheet in the freezer and let it chill for 3-4 hours or until the yogurt circles are completely firm and solid to the touch, ensuring they hold their shape when removed.

            Serve: Once frozen, gently lift the yogurt circles off the baking sheet. They can be enjoyed fresh from the freezer or stored in an airtight container for later enjoyment. They make for a quick and nutritious snack!

              Enjoy: Savor these chilled Maple Walnut Circles as a delightful treat on a warm day or opt for them as a light and healthy dessert option that everyone will love!
