Introduction
These Frozen Greek Yogurt Peanut Butter Bites are a delicious, guilt-free treat that combines creamy yogurt, rich peanut butter, and sweet chocolate chips. Perfect for a healthy snack or dessert, they’re easy to make and ready in just a few hours.
Ingredients
- 2 cups Plain Greek Yogurt (flavor can be customized)
- 1 cup Creamy Peanut Butter (can substitute with almond or sunflower seed butter)
- 1/4 cup Honey (substitute with maple syrup for a vegan option)
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
- 1/2 cup Mini Chocolate Chips (dark chocolate chips can be used for a healthier option)
- 1 pinch Sea Salt
Instructions
- Step 1: In a medium mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, peanut butter, honey, vanilla extract, and a pinch of sea salt. Mix well until the mixture is smooth and creamy, about 1 to 2 minutes.
- Step 2: Gently fold in the mini chocolate chips, distributing them evenly without over-mixing to keep the chips intact.
- Step 3: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Use a tablespoon to scoop out the mixture and place tablespoon-sized mounds evenly spaced on the sheet.
- Step 4: Freeze the bites for at least 2 hours or until firm and solid.
- Step 5: Transfer the frozen bites to an airtight container or resealable bag for convenient storage in the freezer.
Tips & Variations
- For a vegan version, replace honey with maple syrup and ensure the Greek yogurt is dairy-free.
- Try using almond or sunflower seed butter if you want to avoid peanut butter.
- Swap mini chocolate chips with chopped nuts or dried fruit for different textures and flavors.
- If you prefer a firmer bite, freeze for longer than 2 hours before serving.
Storage
Store the frozen bites in an airtight container or resealable bag in the freezer for up to 2 weeks. When ready to eat, no thawing is necessary—just enjoy straight from the freezer for a cool, refreshing snack. If you prefer them softer, let them sit at room temperature for a few minutes before serving.
