Ingredients

• 1 cup Greek yogurt (plain or vanilla)
• 1/3 cup peanut butter (creamy or crunchy, at room temperature)
• 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup (adjust to taste)
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/3 cup mini chocolate chips (or chopped dark chocolate)
• 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon (for extra warmth)
• 1 tablespoon chia seeds or ground flaxseed (for added nutrition)
• 2 tablespoons chopped nuts (almonds, walnuts, or pecans)

Instructions

1. Line a baking sheet or tray with parchment paper. Make sure it’s small enough to fit in your freezer with room to spare. If you’re using refrigerated peanut butter, let it come to room temperature for easier mixing.
2. In a medium mixing bowl, add the Greek yogurt, peanut butter, honey or maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Using a sturdy spoon or spatula, stir the mixture until smooth and well combined. Make sure no streaks of peanut butter remain. If the mixture seems too thick, you can add a teaspoon of milk or additional yogurt to thin it slightly.
3. Add the mini chocolate chips to the yogurt-peanut butter mixture. If you’re using chopped dark chocolate instead, make sure the pieces are small enough to distribute evenly. Gently fold the chocolate into the mixture until evenly distributed. If using any optional add-ins like cinnamon, chia seeds, or chopped nuts, fold those in now as well.
4. Using a tablespoon measure or small cookie scoop, drop 1 to 1.5 tablespoon portions of the mixture onto the parchment-lined tray. Space them about an inch apart to prevent them from freezing together. If you prefer a neater appearance, you can use the back of a spoon to gently smooth the tops of each bite.
5. Place the tray in the freezer, making sure it’s on a flat surface. Freeze the bites for 1-2 hours, or until they’re completely firm to the touch. The exact time will depend on the temperature of your freezer and the size of your bites.
6. Once the bites are fully frozen, transfer them to a freezer-safe container or zip-top bag. If you need to stack them, place a sheet of parchment paper between layers to prevent sticking. Seal the container tightly to prevent freezer burn.
7. The frozen bites can be enjoyed straight from the freezer as a cool, protein-rich treat. They’re perfect for a quick snack, post-workout fuel, or a healthier dessert option. Allow them to sit at room temperature for about 30 seconds before eating for the best texture.

Tips & Variations

• Substitute almond butter or sunflower seed butter for a different flavor profile or to make them nut-free
• Add 1/4 cup of mini chocolate chips to the mixture for extra indulgence
• Swirl in 2 tablespoons of fruit jam before freezing for a PB&J-inspired treat
• For a protein boost, mix in 1 scoop of vanilla protein powder (you may need to add a splash of milk if the mixture becomes too thick)
• Try using flavored Greek yogurt like vanilla or honey for additional sweetness
• If the mixture is too thick to pour easily, add 1-2 tablespoons of milk to thin it out

Serving Suggestions

These frozen yogurt bites are perfect on their own as a quick snack, but you can also dress them up for a more substantial treat. Try crumbling them over fresh berries for a deconstructed parfait, or sandwich two bites between graham crackers for a healthier take on an ice cream sandwich.

For breakfast, pair a couple of these bites with a handful of granola and fresh fruit for a balanced morning meal that feels like you’re having dessert!

Notes

• Store in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 2 weeks
• If you don’t have a muffin tin, you can spread the mixture in a parchment-lined baking dish and cut into squares after freezing
• The bites will start to melt after about 10 minutes at room temperature, so enjoy them quickly once removed from the freezer
• For a firmer texture, use Greek yogurt with a higher fat content

FAQs

Can I use regular yogurt instead of Greek yogurt?
While regular yogurt will work, Greek yogurt creates a creamier, more protein-rich bite. If using regular yogurt, strain it through a cheesecloth for a few hours first to remove excess liquid.

My peanut butter is separating from the yogurt. What am I doing wrong?
This usually happens when your peanut butter is cold. Try warming the peanut butter slightly before mixing, and make sure to whisk vigorously until completely incorporated.

Are these suitable for a keto diet?
As written, these contain honey which isn’t keto-friendly. However, you can substitute a keto-approved sweetener like erythritol or stevia to make them low-carb.

Can I make these in a mini muffin tin for smaller bites?
Absolutely! Using a mini muffin tin will create perfect two-bite treats. Just reduce the freezing time to about 1-1.5 hours since smaller portions will freeze faster.
