Creamy frozen Greek yogurt and peanut butter bites—just 15 minutes prep, 65 calories each, packed with 4g protein.
# What You'll Need:
→ Base
01 - 2 cups plain Greek yogurt (0% or 2% fat)
02 - 1/2 cup natural peanut butter (smooth or crunchy)
03 - 3 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
04 - 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
→ Topping
05 - 1/3 cup dark chocolate chips (optional)
06 - 2 tablespoons crushed peanuts (optional)
→ Lining
07 - Paper mini muffin liners or silicone molds
# How to Make:
01 - Line a mini muffin tin with paper liners or arrange silicone candy molds on a flat tray for easy release after freezing.
02 - In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, peanut butter, honey or maple syrup, and vanilla extract until completely smooth and no streaks remain.
03 - Using a small spoon or cookie scoop, fill each liner or mold with approximately 1 tablespoon of the yogurt-peanut butter mixture, smoothing the tops evenly.
04 - If desired, sprinkle dark chocolate chips and crushed peanuts over the top of each portion, gently pressing them into the surface so they adhere during freezing.
05 - Place the tray in the freezer for at least 2 hours, or until the bites are completely firm and frozen through.
06 - Remove from the freezer and let sit at room temperature for 2 to 3 minutes before serving for the creamiest texture.
# Expert Suggestions:
01 -
- These little bites taste like peanut butter cup ice cream but pack real protein and take almost zero effort to make.
- They solve the eternal problem of wanting something sweet at 9 PM without the guilt spiral that follows.
02 -
- Do not use peanut butter with added sugar or oils because it separates during freezing and leaves a greasy layer on top.
- I once rushed the thaw and cracked a tooth on a frozen bite so please give those two minutes their due respect.
03 -
- A toothpick inserted in the center of one bite after two hours tells you if freezing is complete and if it comes out clean you are golden.
- Double the batch because you will eat half of them before they even make it into the storage container.
