Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 2 cups Plain Greek yogurt (full-fat or 2% recommended for best texture)
  • 1 cup Natural peanut butter (oil-separated, stirred smooth)
  • 23 tbsp Honey or maple syrup (adjust sweetness to taste)
  • 0.5 tsp Vanilla extract (pure preferred)
  • 1 pinch Sea salt (to enhance flavor and balance sweetness)

Optional Ingredients

  • 23 tbsp Mini chocolate chips (optional, for folding into the mixture)
  • Dark chocolate, melted (for dipping or drizzling)
  • 1 tsp Coconut oil (to smooth the melted chocolate)

Instructions

  1. Mix the Base Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, natural peanut butter, honey or maple syrup, vanilla extract, and sea salt vigorously for 30 to 60 seconds until the mixture becomes glossy and smooth.
  2. Add Chocolate Chips (Optional): If using mini chocolate chips, gently fold them into the yogurt mixture to distribute evenly without breaking the chips.
  3. Portion the Mixture: Using a small cookie scoop or spoon, transfer the mixture into silicone molds or a mini muffin tray lined with parchment paper, filling each cavity evenly.
  4. Initial Freeze: Place the molds uncovered in the freezer for 30 minutes to begin setting the bites.
  5. Freeze Until Firm: Cover the molds and continue freezing for an additional 2 to 3 hours until the bites are completely firm.
  6. Chocolate Coating (Optional): Melt dark chocolate with coconut oil to smooth, then dip or drizzle over the frozen bites. Return to the freezer for 10 to 15 minutes to let the chocolate set.
  7. Storage: Store the frozen peanut butter bites in an airtight container, placing parchment paper between layers to prevent sticking, and keep frozen for up to 2 to 3 weeks.

Notes

  • Use full-fat or 2% Greek yogurt for a creamier texture; non-fat may yield a less smooth bite.
  • Adjust the sweetness by varying the amount of honey or maple syrup to suit your taste.
  • Ensure the peanut butter is well stirred to maintain smoothness in the mixture.
  • The coconut oil helps make the melted dark chocolate coating smoother and shinier.
  • These bites are perfect for a quick protein-packed snack or a guilt-free dessert.
  • If you don’t have silicone molds, a parchment-lined mini muffin tray works well for shaping the bites.
  • Store the bites with parchment paper between layers to prevent sticking.
