Frozen Greek Yogurt Peanut Butter Bites are a simple, protein-packed, and delicious no-bake treat combining creamy Greek yogurt and peanut butter with sweet honey and melty chocolate chips. These bites make a perfect quick snack, post-workout fuel, or refreshing dessert.
You’ll love these bites because they blend nutritious ingredients into a smooth, spoonable dough that freezes into perfectly portioned, creamy, and satisfying bites. The natural sweetness from honey and the rich peanut butter flavor complement the tart yogurt, while mini chocolate chips add delightful bursts of chocolate goodness. They are easy to customize and require no baking, making them ideal for a quick health-conscious snack.
Ingredients
- 1 cup Greek yogurt (plain or vanilla)
- 1/3 cup peanut butter (room temperature)
- 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup (adjust to taste)
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/3 cup mini chocolate chips or chopped dark chocolate
Optional Add-ins
- 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon (for warmth)
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds or ground flaxseed (for extra nutrition)
- 2 tablespoons chopped nuts (almonds, walnuts, or pecans)
Instructions
Line a baking sheet or tray with parchment paper, choosing one small enough to fit in your freezer with space around the edges. If your peanut butter was refrigerated, let it come to room temperature to make mixing easier.
In a medium bowl, combine Greek yogurt, peanut butter, honey or maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Use a sturdy spoon or spatula to stir until the mixture is smooth and well combined, ensuring no streaks of peanut butter remain. If the mixture is too thick, add a teaspoon of milk or additional yogurt to loosen it slightly.
Fold in the mini chocolate chips gently to distribute evenly. Add any optional ingredients such as cinnamon, chia seeds, or chopped nuts, folding them in carefully.
Use a tablespoon measure or small cookie scoop to portion 1 to 1.5 tablespoons of mixture onto the parchment-lined tray. Space the portions about an inch apart so they don’t freeze together. For a neater look, gently smooth the tops of each portion with the back of a spoon.
Place the tray in the freezer on a flat surface. Freeze the bites for 1 to 2 hours or until firm to the touch.
Once frozen, transfer the bites to a freezer-safe container or zip-top bag. Layer with parchment paper between if stacking to prevent sticking. Seal tightly to avoid freezer burn.
Enjoy these frozen bites straight from the freezer, allowing them to soften for about 30 seconds at room temperature for the best texture.
