Ingredients

Scale

Core Ingredients

  • 1 cup plain Greek yogurt (full-fat or low-fat)
  • ½ cup creamy natural peanut butter
  • 2 tablespoons honey (or maple syrup for vegan option)

Optional Flavor Boosters

  • Mini or chopped chocolate chips (as desired)
  • Chia seeds (as desired)
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of cinnamon

Instructions

  1. Mix the Base: In a mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of plain Greek yogurt, ½ cup of creamy natural peanut butter, and 2 tablespoons of honey. Whisk thoroughly until the mixture is smooth and uniform. Add ½ teaspoon of vanilla extract or a pinch of cinnamon if using, and stir to incorporate evenly.
  2. Portion Out: Using a mini-muffin tin or silicone mold, spoon approximately 1 tablespoon of the yogurt-peanut butter mixture into each cavity, spreading evenly.
  3. Add Toppings (Optional): If desired, press a few mini chocolate chips into the top of each portion or sprinkle with chia seeds for added texture and nutritional boost.
  4. Freeze: Place the tray or mold in the freezer and chill for at least 2 hours until the bites are fully firm and frozen.
  5. Enjoy and Store: Once solid, run warm water briefly over the bottom of the mold to easily release the frozen bites. Transfer the bites to a labeled, freezer-safe bag and store in the freezer for up to two weeks. Enjoy immediately or keep for future snacking.

Notes

  • Adjust honey quantity to avoid overly sticky bites that stick to molds.
  • Ensure thorough mixing to prevent peanut butter clumps and achieve uniform texture.
  • Freeze on a middle rack to maintain creaminess and avoid icy texture.
  • Substitute peanut butter with almond or cashew butter for variation, noting flavor differences.
  • Try adding dark chocolate drizzle, mashed berries, or crushed nuts for creative twists.
  • These bites are best consumed within 2 weeks to prevent freezer burn and maintain taste.
