Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups plain full-fat Greek yogurt
- 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
- 3 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Optional Add-ins
- 1/4 cup mini chocolate chips
- Crushed nuts (quantity as desired)
- Fresh berries (such as blueberries or raspberries, small pieces as desired)
Instructions
- Mix the Creamy Base: In a medium mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, creamy peanut butter, honey or maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Whisk or fold gently until the mixture is smooth and creamy, ensuring the peanut butter is fully incorporated. Taste and adjust sweetness if needed. If using mini chocolate chips, fold them in gently at this stage.
- Shape the Bites: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Using a tablespoon or a small cookie scoop, drop even portions of the mixture onto the sheet, spacing each a little apart as they will not spread. Smooth the tops gently with the back of a spoon for a neat look.
- Freeze Until Firm: Place the baking sheet in the freezer and freeze the bites for at least 3 to 4 hours or until completely firm. Once frozen, transfer the bites into an airtight container for storage. Enjoy them straight from the freezer for a cool, creamy snack.
Notes
- Store bites in an airtight container or freezer-safe bag in the freezer for up to 2 weeks.
- Let bites sit at room temperature for a minute or two before eating if they feel too firm.
- Use full-fat Greek yogurt for a creamier texture and to avoid ice crystals.
- Stir peanut butter well before measuring to ensure even consistency.
- For easy removal and uniform size, use silicone molds or mini muffin cups lined with paper liners.
