How to Make Frozen Greek Yogurt Peanut Butter Bites With Chocolate Chips
This recipe is all about simple mixing and freezing. You’ll blend the yogurt, peanut butter, and honey until smooth, fold in chips, scoop onto a sheet, and freeze. No cooking. Small changes—like swapping nut butter or chocolate type—give you a fresh twist with the same easy steps.
Ingredients:
- 1 cup Greek yogurt
- 1/2 cup peanut butter
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips
- Pinch of salt
Directions:
Step 1: Preparation
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Set out a spoon or small cookie scoop. Measure all ingredients so they are ready to mix.
Step 2: Mixing
In a mixing bowl, combine 1 cup Greek yogurt, 1/2 cup peanut butter, 1/4 cup honey, and a pinch of salt. Stir or whisk until the mixture is smooth and evenly blended. The mixture should be creamy and slightly thick.
Step 3: Folding and Portioning
Fold 1/2 cup chocolate chips into the yogurt mixture so they distribute evenly. Use a spoon or small cookie scoop to drop dollops (about 1 tablespoon each) onto the lined baking sheet. Space them a little apart so they freeze into individual bites.
Step 4: Freezing and Storing
Place the baking sheet in the freezer. Freeze for about 2 hours, or until the bites are firm. Once frozen, transfer the bites to an airtight, freezer-safe container or a resealable freezer bag. Keep them in the freezer and enjoy straight from frozen.
How to Serve Frozen Greek Yogurt Peanut Butter Bites With Chocolate Chips
Serve them straight from the freezer for a firm, cool treat. Let a few sit at room temperature for 3–5 minutes if you prefer a softer, creamier texture. They pair well with fresh berries, sliced bananas, or a warm mug of coffee or tea. Place a few on a dessert plate for a simple after-dinner bite.
How to Store Frozen Greek Yogurt Peanut Butter Bites With Chocolate Chips
- Short-term: Store in an airtight container or freezer bag for up to 2 weeks for best texture.
- Long-term: They keep well for up to 2 months, though texture softens slightly over time.
- Thawing: To soften, leave on the counter 3–5 minutes or in the fridge for 15–30 minutes. Do not refreeze after fully thawing.
Expert Tips for Perfect Frozen Greek Yogurt Peanut Butter Bites With Chocolate Chips
- Use thick Greek yogurt for the best texture. If yours is very runny, strain it briefly in a fine mesh sieve.
- Warm the peanut butter slightly (10–15 seconds in the microwave) if it’s stiff. This makes mixing smoother.
- For uniform bites, use a 1-tablespoon cookie scoop.
- Swap honey for maple syrup for a different sweet note and vegan option (if using non-dairy yogurt).
- Stir in a pinch of cinnamon or a drop of vanilla for extra flavor depth.
- If you want firmer bites, add 1–2 tablespoons of powdered milk or protein powder to firm the mixture slightly.
- Press the chips in gently after scooping if the chips sink into very soft mix.
- For less sugar, use dark chocolate chips or reduce chips to 1/3 cup.
Delicious Variations
- Chocolate banana: Fold in finely mashed banana and use banana slices to top some bites.
- Almond butter and dark chocolate: Swap peanut butter for almond butter and use dark chocolate chips.
- Nut-free: Use sun butter or soy butter instead of peanut butter.
- Berry crunch: Fold in 1/4 cup finely chopped freeze-dried strawberries for tartness.
- Protein boost: Add 1 scoop vanilla protein powder and a splash more yogurt if needed.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can I use dairy-free yogurt?
A: Yes. Use a thick dairy-free Greek-style yogurt (coconut or almond-based) for similar texture. Expect a slightly different taste and creaminess.
Q: Can I use a different nut butter?
A: Absolutely. Almond butter, cashew butter, or sunflower seed butter work well. Flavor and fat content will change slightly.
Q: How many bites does this recipe make?
A: With a 1-tablespoon scoop, this recipe makes about 12 bites. Use a smaller scoop for more bites.
Q: Can I make these ahead for a party?
A: Yes. Make them a day or two ahead and keep them in the freezer. Arrange on a chilled platter or serve from the freezer in small batches.
Q: Are these safe for kids?
A: Yes, but watch for choking risk in very young children due to frozen firmness and chocolate chips. Consider smaller, softer pieces or let them soften slightly before serving to toddlers.
Q: Can I bake these?
A: No. This recipe relies on freezing to set the yogurt. Baking would melt the yogurt and change the texture entirely.
Q: What if my mixture is too runny to scoop?
A: Chill the bowl for 15–20 minutes to firm it, or add a tablespoon of powdered milk or protein powder to thicken.
