Equipment
- Medium Mixing Bowl
- Spatula or Sturdy Spoon
- Baking sheet
- Parchment paper
- Tablespoon or Small Cookie Scoop
- Airtight Container or Freezer Bag
Ingredients
- 1 cup plain Greek yogurt Make sure it's Greek for that thick, luscious texture that freezes perfectly.
- 0.5 cup creamy peanut butter
- 0.25 cup honey
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup mini chocolate chips
- 0.25 tsp sea salt
Instructions
- Step 1: In a medium mixing bowl, combine plain Greek yogurt, creamy peanut butter, honey, vanilla extract, and sea salt.
- Step 2: Mix thoroughly with a spatula or sturdy spoon until the mixture is beautifully smooth and all ingredients are well combined into a uniform, creamy consistency.
- Step 3: Gently fold in the mini chocolate chips until they are nicely and evenly distributed throughout the mixture, being careful not to overmix.
- Step 4: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Using a tablespoon or small cookie scoop, scoop out small, bite-sized mounds of the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet.
- Step 5: Carefully place the baking sheet into the freezer and freeze for at least 2 hours, or until the bites are completely solid.
- Step 6: Once solid, transfer the frozen bites to an airtight container or freezer bag. Store them in the freezer until ready to enjoy. Serve straight from the freezer.
Notes
This recipe is highly versatile! For yogurt swaps, try plain dairy-free Greek yogurt (almond/coconut-based) or vanilla Greek yogurt. You can substitute peanut butter with almond, cashew, or sunflower seed butter. Honey can be swapped for maple syrup, agave nectar, or a sugar-free syrup. Feel free to use different types of chocolate chips (dark, white, butterscotch) or even chopped candy bars. Creative additions include shredded coconut, chopped toasted nuts, cinnamon, espresso powder, or mint extract.
For best results, always use thick Greek yogurt; regular yogurt will be too watery and icy. A small cookie scoop helps create uniform bites. Don't skip the parchment paper for easy removal and cleanup. Ensure bites are frozen solid for at least 2 hours, or even overnight. Once frozen, transfer to an airtight container or freezer bag and store for 1-2 months. Enjoy them straight from the freezer—no thawing required!
