Ingredients
(Here’s a tip: Check out the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)
-
1 cup plain Greek yogurt (full-fat for creamier texture)
-
½ cup creamy peanut butter (natural and unsweetened preferred)
-
2–3 tablespoons honey or maple syrup (adjust to taste)
-
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
-
¼ cup mini chocolate chips (plus a few for topping, optional)
Directions
-
In a medium bowl, I mix the Greek yogurt, peanut butter, honey (or maple syrup), and vanilla extract until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy.
-
I gently fold in the mini chocolate chips so they’re evenly distributed.
-
Using a mini cookie scoop or spoon, I portion the mixture into silicone mini muffin cups, an ice cube tray, or dollop onto a parchment-lined baking sheet—filling each about ¾ full.
-
If I want a polished look, I press a few extra chocolate chips onto the tops.
-
I place the tray in the freezer for at least 2 hours, until the bites are firm.
-
When they’re ready, I pop them out and let them sit for 1–2 minutes at room temperature before eating—they soften just enough.
Servings and timing
This recipe makes about 12 bites and takes around 10 minutes to prep plus 2 hours to freeze (mostly hands-off). They’re perfect for prepping ahead and grabbing when a sweet snack craving hits.
Variations
-
Nut Butter Swap: Almond, cashew, or sunflower seed butter works beautifully if I want an allergy-friendly version.
-
Add mix-ins: I’ve stirred in chia seeds, shredded coconut, or even chopped nuts for added texture.
-
Flavorful yogurt: Vanilla or strawberry-flavored Greek yogurt adds a different taste twist.
-
Sweet finish: A pinch of sea salt on top creates a great salty-sweet contrast.
Storage/Reheating
I store the finished bites in an airtight container or freezer bag, layering with parchment paper to prevent sticking. They keep well in the freezer for up to 2 months. I enjoy them straight from the freezer—they soften quickly but stay firm for just enough bite.
FAQs
Can I make these ahead of time?
Absolutely—I often make a batch and keep them frozen for quick snacks. They’re ready whenever I want a treat.
Are these bites gluten-free?
Yes—all ingredients like Greek yogurt, peanut butter, and chocolate chips are naturally gluten-free. I just check the labels to be safe.
Can I use flavored yogurt?
Yes! I’ve used vanilla Greek yogurt before—just reduce the added sweetener slightly to avoid over-sweetening.
Can I make them vegan?
For sure. I use dairy‑free yogurt and maple syrup, and substitute hollow vegan chips for the chocolate.
What’s a good container for freezing?
A silicone mold works well, but I transfer frozen bites into a freezer-safe bag or shallow container to save space and keep them neat.
