Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
- ½ cup creamy peanut butter
- 2 tbsp maple syrup or honey (optional for added sweetness)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Toppings
- 1–2 tbsp mini chocolate chips
- Pinch of flaky sea salt
- Optional: 2 tbsp chopped roasted peanuts or dark chocolate for topping
Instructions
- Mix Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, creamy peanut butter, maple syrup or honey, and vanilla extract. Stir thoroughly until the mixture is smooth and creamy with no lumps.
- Prepare Pan: Line a loaf pan or silicone mold with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure easy removal of the frozen bites.
- Add Mixture: Spread the peanut butter and yogurt mixture evenly into the prepared pan or mold. Use a spatula to smooth the surface for an even finish.
- Top Bites: Sprinkle mini chocolate chips and a pinch of flaky sea salt over the top. For an extra crunch or richer flavor, optionally add chopped roasted peanuts or drizzle melted dark chocolate on top.
- Freeze: Place the pan or mold in the freezer and allow the mixture to freeze for at least 2 to 3 hours, or until completely firm.
- Cut and Serve: Once frozen, remove the bites from the pan by lifting the parchment paper. Slice or scoop into bite-sized pieces and enjoy immediately. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 1 month.
Notes
- You can adjust the sweetness by adding more or less maple syrup or honey according to taste.
- Using a silicone mold makes removing the bites easier, but a parchment-lined loaf pan works just as well.
- Store frozen bites properly to maintain texture and flavor for up to one month.
- Try experimenting with different toppings like shredded coconut, chopped nuts, or dried fruit.
- This recipe is great as a healthy, portion-controlled snack option.
