Ingredients

  • 1 cup plain Greek yogurt (whole-milk preferred for creaminess)
  • ⅓ cup creamy peanut butter
  • 2 Tbsp honey or maple syrup (optional, adjust for sweetness)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt
  • Optional Add-Ins:
    • ¼ cup mini chocolate chips for a chocolate-peanut butter twist
    • 1 Tbsp chopped peanuts or crushed pretzels for crunch
    • ½ tsp cinnamon or 1 Tbsp cocoa powder for flavor variation

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Line a baking sheet or shallow tray with parchment paper. Have a tablespoon or small cookie scoop ready for portioning.
  2. Step 2: In a medium bowl, combine Greek yogurt, peanut butter, honey or maple syrup, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Stir until smooth and well blended with no visible streaks of peanut butter.
  3. Step 3: If using chocolate chips or chopped nuts, fold them into the mixture. Using the scoop or tablespoon, drop mounds (about 1 Tbsp each) onto the prepared tray, spacing them about 1 inch apart.
  4. Step 4: Place the tray in the freezer for at least 1–2 hours, or until the bites are firm to the touch.
  5. Step 5: Once frozen solid, transfer the bites into a freezer-safe container or zip-top bag. If stacking, separate layers with parchment paper. Let frozen bites sit 2–3 minutes before eating for best texture.

Tips & Variations

  • Use good-quality natural peanut butter (no excess oil separation) for the best texture and flavor.
  • If the yogurt mixture is too loose, fold in an extra 1–2 tablespoons of Greek yogurt or add 1 Tbsp cocoa powder or oats to thicken.
  • Swap peanut butter for almond butter or sunflower seed butter if you have nut allergies.
  • Drizzle melted dark chocolate on top of the frozen bites just before serving for a dessert upgrade.
  • These bites are portable, freezer-friendly, and indulgent while being lighter than traditional ice cream or candy bars.

Storage

Store the bites in an airtight freezer container or zip-top bag for up to 2 months. For best flavor and texture, try to consume within the first month. When ready to eat, let them sit at room temperature for 2–3 minutes to soften slightly for easier biting and enhanced flavor.

How to Serve

FAQs

Can I use non-fat Greek yogurt instead of whole-milk?

Yes, you can, but whole-milk Greek yogurt provides a creamier texture. Non-fat works, though the result may be slightly firmer or icier.

How long do these bites keep in the freezer?

Stored properly in an airtight container, they keep well for up to 2 months. For optimal taste and texture, consume within the first month.

Can I make them vegan or dairy-free?

Absolutely. Replace the Greek yogurt with a thick plant-based yogurt such as coconut or almond and use vegan peanut butter along with vegan chocolate if desired.

Should I let them sit at room temperature before eating?

Yes, letting them rest for about 2–3 minutes softens the bites, making them easier to eat and allowing the flavors to come through better.
