Ingredients

  • 1 cup plain Greek yogurt (full-fat or low-fat)
  • ½ cup creamy natural peanut butter
  • 2 tablespoons honey (or maple syrup for a vegan option)
  • Optional: ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Optional: a pinch of cinnamon
  • Optional toppings: mini chocolate chips, chia seeds

Instructions

  1. Step 1: In a mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, peanut butter, and honey. Stir until the mixture is smooth and well blended. If using, add vanilla extract or cinnamon and mix again.
  2. Step 2: Spoon about 1 tablespoon of the mixture into each cavity of a mini-muffin tin or silicone mold.
  3. Step 3: Press a few mini chocolate chips or sprinkle chia seeds on top of each portion, if desired.
  4. Step 4: Place the tray into the freezer and let the bites freeze for at least 2 hours until solid.
  5. Step 5: To remove, run warm water over the bottom of the mold briefly, then pop the bites out. Transfer them to a freezer-safe bag and label with the date.

Tips & Variations

  • Swap peanut butter for almond or cashew butter if preferred, though peanut butter offers the creamiest texture.
  • For a chocolate swirl, drizzle melted dark chocolate into each portion before freezing.
  • Add 2 tablespoons of mashed berries for a fruity twist and pretty color.
  • Mix in crushed nuts or granola for a crunchy texture.
  • Try dipping frozen bites in melted chocolate for an indulgent finish.

Storage

Store the frozen bites in a labeled freezer-safe bag for up to 2 weeks. Keep the bag sealed tightly to prevent freezer burn. When ready to enjoy, you can eat them straight from the freezer or let them sit a minute to soften slightly for easier biting.

FAQs

Can I use flavored Greek yogurt instead of plain?

Using flavored yogurt might add extra sweetness and change the flavor profile, which can be delicious but less controlled. Plain yogurt lets you customize the taste exactly.

How do I prevent the bites from becoming too hard?

Full-fat Greek yogurt helps keep the texture creamier when frozen. Also, serving the bites after letting them thaw for a couple of minutes softens them without melting.
