Ingredients

  • 2 cups plain Greek yogurt (full-fat or 2% for best texture)
  • 1 cup natural peanut butter (oil-separated, stirred smooth)
  • 2-3 tbsp honey or maple syrup (adjust sweetness to taste)
  • ½ tsp vanilla extract (use pure for best flavor)
  • 1 pinch sea salt (enhances flavor and balances sweetness)
  • Optional: 2–3 tbsp mini chocolate chips
  • Optional: melted dark chocolate (for dipping or drizzling)
  • 1 tsp coconut oil (for smoother melted chocolate)

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Whisk the Greek yogurt, peanut butter, honey or maple syrup, vanilla extract, and sea salt in a bowl for 30–60 seconds until the mixture is glossy and smooth.
  2. Step 2: Gently fold in the mini chocolate chips if you’re using them, taking care not to overmix.
  3. Step 3: Spoon the mixture into silicone molds or a parchment-lined mini muffin tray using a small cookie scoop for even portions.
  4. Step 4: Freeze the molds uncovered for 30 minutes, then cover and freeze again until firm, about 2 to 3 hours.
  5. Step 5: If desired, dip or drizzle the frozen bites with melted dark chocolate mixed with coconut oil, then return to the freezer for 10–15 minutes to set the chocolate.
  6. Step 6: Store the frozen bites in an airtight container with parchment paper between layers to prevent sticking.

Tips & Variations

  • For a nut-free option, substitute peanut butter with sunflower seed butter or almond butter.
  • Adjust the sweetness by adding more or less honey or maple syrup according to your taste.
  • Use silicone molds shaped like mini squares or circles for easy release and fun shapes.
  • Add a pinch of cinnamon or a few chopped nuts to the mixture for extra flavor and texture.
  • If you prefer a dairy-free version, use coconut yogurt instead of Greek yogurt.

Storage

Keep the peanut butter bites frozen in an airtight container layered with parchment paper to prevent sticking. They will last well for 2 to 3 weeks. When ready to eat, simply let them sit at room temperature for a few minutes to soften slightly before enjoying. Avoid refreezing once thawed to maintain the best texture.

How to Serve

One dough ball is positioned on top of the other two, with a bite taken out of it, revealing a moist, soft, and slightly crumbly interior that matches the outer color. The dough balls rest on white parchment paper, placed on a white marbled surface blurred in the background, with additional dough balls faintly visible beyond the focus point. The scene captures the texture and consistency of the dough and chocolate chips clearly. photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

FAQs

Can I use non-fat Greek yogurt instead of full-fat?

Yes, but full-fat or 2% Greek yogurt provides a creamier texture and richer flavor in the bites. Non-fat yogurt can make them firmer and less creamy.

How do I prevent the bites from sticking together?

Place parchment paper between layers when storing the bites in an airtight container. Also, using silicone molds helps with easy removal without sticking.

Optional Ingredients
