Ingredients
Scale
Core Ingredients
- 1 cup plain Greek yogurt (full-fat for creamier bites, or low-fat if you’re watching calories)
- ½ cup creamy peanut butter (natural, without additives)
- 2 tablespoons honey (or maple syrup for a vegan twist)
Optional Flavor Boosters
- Chocolate chips (mini or chopped), for extra indulgence
- Chia seeds, for added fiber and omega-3s
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract, for a warm, cozy aroma
- A pinch of cinnamon, to enhance flavor
Instructions
- Mix the Base: In a medium bowl, combine Greek yogurt, creamy peanut butter, and honey. Whip the ingredients together until the mixture is smooth and creamy. If using, add vanilla extract or a pinch of cinnamon at this stage and mix thoroughly to evenly distribute the flavors.
- Portion Out: Prepare a mini-muffin tin or silicone molds by lightly greasing or using a non-stick spray. Spoon approximately 1 tablespoon of the yogurt mixture into each cavity, making sure each portion is evenly filled.
- Add Toppings (Optional): If desired, press a few mini chocolate chips into the top of each portion or sprinkle a pinch of chia seeds over them to add texture and nutritional benefits.
- Freeze: Place the filled tray or mold into the freezer. Freeze the bites for at least 2 hours to allow them to solidify completely. Patience is key for a perfect texture.
- Enjoy: Once firm, run warm water briefly on the underside of the mold to loosen the bites. Pop them out and transfer to a freezer-safe bag or container. Keep frozen and enjoy them whenever you need a quick, healthy snack.
Notes
- Use full-fat Greek yogurt for creamier bites or low-fat if you prefer a lighter option.
- Natural peanut butter is best to avoid added sugars and oils.
- For a vegan version, substitute honey with maple syrup and ensure yogurt is plant-based.
- Feel free to swap peanut butter with almond or cashew butter, though the taste may differ.
- Store bites in the freezer in an airtight container for up to 1 month.
- Running warm water on the mold helps release the bites without melting them.
