Protein-packed frozen treat with Greek yogurt and peanut butter. Quick, healthy snack perfect for any time.
# What You Need:
→ Yogurt Base
01 - 1½ cups plain Greek yogurt, nonfat or 2%
02 - ½ cup natural peanut butter, smooth or crunchy
03 - 3 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
04 - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
→ Toppings
05 - 2 tablespoons mini chocolate chips
06 - 2 tablespoons chopped roasted peanuts
07 - 1 tablespoon unsweetened coconut flakes
# How-To Steps:
01 - Line a mini muffin tin or small silicone molds with paper liners, or lightly coat with nonstick spray.
02 - In a medium bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, peanut butter, honey (or maple syrup), and vanilla extract. Stir until smooth and fully incorporated.
03 - Spoon the mixture evenly into the prepared molds, filling each about three-quarters full.
04 - Sprinkle desired toppings over each filled mold, gently pressing them into the surface so they adhere.
05 - Place the tin or molds in the freezer for at least 2 hours, or until the bites are completely firm.
06 - Remove the frozen bites from the molds and transfer to an airtight container. Store in the freezer and serve directly from frozen. Let sit at room temperature for 2–3 minutes before eating for the best texture.
# Expert Hints:
01 -
- They taste like Reese is cups had a healthier, smarter cousin who actually goes to the gym.
- You can keep a stash in the freezer for weeks and grab one whenever the sugar craving hits without the guilt spiral.
02 -
- Skipping the liners once cost me an entire batch because the yogurt bonded to the tin like cement and I had to thaw the whole thing and start over.
- Letting them sit at room temperature for two or three minutes before eating transforms the texture from icy to creamy in a way that is absolutely worth the wait.
03 -
- The mixture freezes best when it is completely smooth, so if your peanut butter is cold and stiff, microwave it for fifteen seconds before mixing.
- A small cookie scoop fills the molds evenly and keeps your hands clean, which matters more than you think when you are making these with kids.
