Ingredients

  • 2 cups Plain Greek yogurt (Use full-fat or 2% for best texture)
  • 1 cup Natural peanut butter (Oil-separated, stirred smooth)
  • 2–3 tbsp Honey or maple syrup (Adjust sweetness to taste)
  • 0.5 tsp Vanilla extract (Use pure for best flavor)
  • 1 pinch Sea salt (Enhances flavor and balances sweetness)
  • Optional: 2–3 tbsp Mini chocolate chips
  • Optional: Melted dark chocolate (For dipping or drizzling)
  • 1 tsp Coconut oil (For smoother melted chocolate)

Instructions

  1. Step 1: In a bowl, whisk together Greek yogurt, peanut butter, honey or maple syrup, vanilla extract, and sea salt for 30–60 seconds until the mixture is glossy and smooth.
  2. Step 2: Gently fold in mini chocolate chips if using, being careful not to overmix.
  3. Step 3: Using a small cookie scoop, spoon the mixture into silicone molds or a parchment-lined mini muffin tray.
  4. Step 4: Freeze the molds uncovered for 30 minutes, then cover and continue freezing until firm, about 2–3 hours.
  5. Step 5: If desired, dip or drizzle the frozen bites with melted dark chocolate mixed with coconut oil, then return to the freezer for 10–15 minutes to set the chocolate.
  6. Step 6: Store frozen bites in an airtight container with parchment paper between layers to prevent sticking, and keep frozen until ready to enjoy.

Tips & Variations

  • For creamier melted chocolate, mix in coconut oil before dipping or drizzling.
  • Swap peanut butter for almond or cashew butter for different flavors.
  • Adjust sweetness by adding more or less honey or maple syrup based on your preference.
  • Add chopped nuts or seeds for extra crunch inside the bites.

Storage

Keep the frozen bites in an airtight container layered with parchment to prevent sticking. Store them in the freezer for up to 2–3 weeks. To enjoy, simply take out a few bites and let them soften for a couple of minutes at room temperature before eating; no reheating needed.

How to Serve

FAQs

Can I use low-fat or fat-free Greek yogurt?

While you can use low-fat or fat-free yogurt, the texture might be less creamy and can become icier once frozen. Full-fat or 2% yogurt provides the best texture for these bites.

How do I prevent the bites from sticking together in storage?

Place parchment paper between layers of the frozen bites in an airtight container to keep them separated and easy to access.

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 2 cups Plain Greek yogurt (full-fat or 2% for best texture)
  • 1 cup Natural peanut butter (oil-separated, stirred smooth)
  • 23 tbsp Honey or maple syrup (adjust sweetness to taste)
  • 0.5 tsp Vanilla extract (pure for best flavor)
  • 1 pinch Sea salt (enhances flavor and balances sweetness)

Optional Ingredients

  • 23 tbsp Mini chocolate chips (if using)
  • Melted dark chocolate (for dipping or drizzling)
  • 1 tsp Coconut oil (for smoother melted chocolate)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the mixture: In a medium bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, natural peanut butter, honey or maple syrup, vanilla extract, and a pinch of sea salt for 30–60 seconds until the mixture becomes glossy and smooth.
  2. Add chocolate chips (optional): Gently fold in mini chocolate chips if you choose to include them, ensuring they are evenly distributed without overmixing.
  3. Spoon into molds: Using a small cookie scoop or spoon, portion the mixture into silicone molds or a parchment-lined mini muffin tray. This will help form uniform bite-sized pieces.
  4. Initial freeze: Place the molds in the freezer uncovered for 30 minutes to begin setting the bites.
  5. Freeze until firm: Cover the molds and continue freezing for an additional 2–3 hours until the bites are completely firm and frozen through.
  6. Melt chocolate (if using): In a small bowl, gently melt dark chocolate with coconut oil until smooth. Dip or drizzle the frozen bites with the melted chocolate for added richness.
  7. Set the chocolate: Return the chocolate-coated bites to the freezer for 10–15 minutes so the chocolate hardens properly.
  8. Store: Keep the frozen bites in an airtight container separated by parchment paper to prevent sticking. Store in the freezer for up to 2–3 weeks for maximum freshness.

Notes

  • You can adjust the sweetness by increasing or decreasing the honey or maple syrup depending on your taste preference.
  • Use full-fat or 2% Greek yogurt for creamier texture; non-fat yogurt may result in icy bites.
  • Silicone molds make it easier to remove the bites, but parchment-lined trays also work well.
  • If you prefer nut-free, substitute peanut butter with almond butter or sunflower seed butter.
  • For a vegan version, use plant-based yogurt and a suitable vegan sweetener.
