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 (if using)
  • 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 the 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 the mini chocolate chips, if using, to evenly distribute them throughout the mixture.
  3. Step 3: Spoon the mixture into silicone molds or a parchment-lined mini muffin tray using a small cookie scoop for even portions.
  4. Step 4: Freeze the molds uncovered for 30 minutes, then cover and continue freezing for 2–3 hours until the bites are firm.
  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 the frozen bites in an airtight container with parchment paper between layers to prevent sticking, keeping them frozen until ready to enjoy.

Tips & Variations

  • Use full-fat or 2% Greek yogurt for a creamier texture that freezes well.
  • Adjust the sweetness by adding more or less honey or maple syrup to suit your taste.
  • Add a pinch of cinnamon or a splash of almond extract for a flavor twist.
  • For a nut-free option, substitute peanut butter with almond or sunflower seed butter.
  • Freeze the bites in silicone molds for easy removal and uniform shapes.

Storage

Store the frozen peanut butter bites in an airtight container with parchment paper between layers to prevent sticking. They keep well in the freezer for up to 2–3 weeks. When ready to eat, let them sit at room temperature for a few minutes to soften slightly before enjoying. Re-freeze any leftovers promptly.
