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)
- 2–3 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
- 2–3 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
- 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.
- Add Optional Chips: Gently fold in the mini chocolate chips if using, taking care not to overmix.
- Portion Mixture: Using a small cookie scoop, spoon the mixture into silicone molds or a parchment-lined mini muffin tray, filling each cavity evenly.
- Initial Freeze: Place the molds uncovered in the freezer for 30 minutes to start setting the bites.
- Freeze Until Firm: Cover the molds and freeze for an additional 2 to 3 hours until the bites are completely firm and frozen through.
- 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.
- 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.
