Ingredients
Yogurt Mixture
- 1 cup full-fat Greek yogurt
- 1/2 cup peanut butter (chilled)
- 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- A pinch of salt
Add-ins
- 1/4 cup mini chocolate chips
Instructions
- Prepare the Yogurt Mixture: In a mixing bowl, combine the full-fat Greek yogurt, chilled peanut butter, honey or maple syrup, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Stir thoroughly until the mixture is smooth, creamy, and well blended with no streaks of peanut butter remaining.
- Add Chocolate Chips: Gently fold in the mini chocolate chips evenly throughout the yogurt mixture to ensure every bite has little bursts of chocolate.
- Portion the Bites: Using a small spoon or cookie scooper, drop tablespoon-sized portions of the yogurt mixture onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicone mat. Make sure to space them apart so they don’t stick together once frozen.
- Freeze Until Firm: Place the baking sheet in the freezer and freeze the bites for at least 2 hours or until completely solid. Once frozen, transfer the bites into an airtight container or resealable freezer bag for easy storage and access.
Notes
- Use full-fat Greek yogurt for creaminess; low-fat varieties may result in icier texture.
- Chilling the peanut butter before mixing helps keep the bites firm and flavorful.
- These bites can be stored in the freezer for up to 2 weeks.
- For a vegan alternative, substitute Greek yogurt with a thick coconut yogurt and use maple syrup instead of honey.
- Mini chocolate chips distribute more evenly; regular-size chips may clump.
