Ingredients
Scale
Ingredients
- 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 1/2 cup natural peanut butter
- 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
- 1/3 cup mini chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the baking sheet: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent the bites from sticking and to make cleanup easy.
- Mix ingredients: In a medium bowl, stir together the Greek yogurt, natural peanut butter, honey or maple syrup, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt until the mixture is smooth and fully combined.
- Add chocolate chips: Gently fold in the mini chocolate chips if using, to evenly distribute them throughout the mixture.
- Portion the mixture: Using a tablespoon, scoop portions of the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them slightly apart to avoid sticking together.
- Shape the bites: Gently flatten each mound with the back of a spoon to form small, disc-shaped bites.
- Freeze: Place the baking sheet in the freezer and freeze for at least 2 hours, or until the bites are firm and frozen through.
- Store and serve: Transfer the frozen bites to an airtight container and keep them in the freezer until ready to enjoy. Let them sit at room temperature for 2 to 3 minutes before eating for the best texture.
Notes
- Use full-fat Greek yogurt for a creamier texture and richer taste.
- For a dairy-free alternative, substitute the Greek yogurt with a thick, dairy-free yogurt option such as coconut or almond-based yogurt.
- Allow the bites to sit at room temperature for a few minutes before eating to soften slightly for the best mouthfeel.
