Ingredients

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
  • Melted dark chocolate (for dipping or drizzling)
  • 1 tsp Coconut oil (to smooth the melted chocolate)

Equipment

  • Mixing bowl
  • Silicone molds or parchment-lined mini muffin tray
  • Cookie scoop
  • Parchment paper (for layering in storage container)

Instructions

  1. Mix Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, natural peanut butter, honey or maple syrup, vanilla extract, and a pinch of sea salt for 30 to 60 seconds until the mixture is glossy and smooth.
  2. Add Optional Chips: Gently fold in the mini chocolate chips if using, taking care not to overmix.
  3. Portion Mixture: Using a small cookie scoop, spoon the mixture into silicone molds or a parchment-lined mini muffin tray, filling each cavity evenly.
  4. Initial Freeze: Place the molds uncovered in the freezer for 30 minutes to start setting the bites.
  5. Freeze Until Firm: Cover the molds and freeze for an additional 2 to 3 hours until the bites are completely firm and frozen through.
  6. Add Chocolate Coating (Optional): If desired, dip or drizzle the frozen bites with melted dark chocolate mixed with coconut oil for smoothness. Return to the freezer for 10 to 15 minutes to let the chocolate set.
  7. Store Properly: Store the frozen bites in an airtight container with parchment paper between layers to prevent sticking. Keep them in the freezer for up to 2 to 3 weeks.

Notes

  • Briefly thaw the bites for 2 to 3 minutes before serving for a creamier texture; avoid microwaving entire bites to prevent melting.
  • Use full-fat or 2% Greek yogurt for the best texture, as non-fat may yield a icier consistency.
  • For a vegan variation, substitute Greek yogurt with a plant-based yogurt and use maple syrup instead of honey.
  • Try experimenting with different nut butters like almond or cashew for alternative flavors.
  • Ensure peanut butter is well stirred to avoid oil separation in the mixture.
