What Is Frozen Greek Yogurt Peanut Butter Bites / Why It’s Special

Ingredients You’ll Need
- 1 cup plain Greek yogurt (whole-milk preferred for creaminess)
- ⅓ cup creamy peanut butter
- 2 Tbsp honey or maple syrup (optional, adjust for sweetness)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
Optional Add-Ins: - ¼ cup mini chocolate chips for a chocolate-peanut butter twist
- 1 Tbsp chopped peanuts or crushed pretzels for crunch
- ½ tsp cinnamon or 1 Tbsp cocoa powder for flavor variation
Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Prepare Your Freezer Tray
Line a baking sheet or shallow tray with parchment paper. Have a tablespoon or small cookie scoop ready for portioning.
Step 2: Mix the Base
In a medium bowl, combine Greek yogurt, peanut butter, honey/maple syrup, vanilla extract and a pinch of salt. Stir until smooth and well-blended no streaks of peanut butter should remain visible.
Step 3: Portion & Add Mix-ins
If using chocolate chips or chopped nuts, fold them in now. Using the scoop or tablespoon, drop mounds (about 1 Tbsp each) onto the prepared tray, spacing them about 1 inch apart.
Step 4: Freeze Until Firm
Place the tray in the freezer for at least 1-2 hours, or until the bites are firm to the touch.
Step 5: Store & Serve
Once frozen solid, transfer the bites into a freezer-safe container or zip-top bag. Keep separated by parchment sheets if stacking. Pop a few at a time let them sit 2-3 minutes before eating for best texture.
Tips / Variations / Why You’ll Love It
- Tip: Use good-quality natural peanut butter (no excess oil separation) for best texture and flavor.
- Tip: If yogurt mixture is too loose, fold in an extra 1-2 tablespoons of Greek yogurt or add 1 Tbsp of cocoa or oats to thicken.
- Variation: Swap peanut butter for almond butter or sunflower seed butter if you have nut allergies.
- Variation: Drizzle melted dark chocolate on top of the frozen bites just before serving for a dessert upgrade.
- Why You’ll Love It: These bites are portable, freezer-friendly, and feel indulgent while being much lighter than traditional ice cream or candy bars. Plus, they deliver protein and flavor in one bite.
FAQs
Q1. Can I use non-fat Greek yogurt instead of whole-milk?
Yes you can but whole-milk will give the creamiest texture. Non-fat works, just expect slightly firmer or icier result.
Q2. How long do these bites keep in the freezer?
Stored in an airtight freezer container, they keep well for up to 2 months. For best flavor and texture, try within the first month.
Q3. Can I make them vegan or dairy-free?
Absolutely. Replace Greek yogurt with a thick plant-based yogurt (coconut or almond) and use vegan peanut butter and chopped vegan chocolate.
Q4. Should I let them sit at room temperature before eating?
Yes, letting them rest for ~2–3 minutes softens them slightly so they’re easier to bite and the flavor comes through more.
