How to make Peanut Butter Greek Yogurt Freezer Bites
Step 1: Combine the ingredients
Frozen yogurt peanut butter makes every moment feel comforting. In a medium bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, peanut butter, honey (or maple syrup), vanilla extract, and sea salt. Mix until well combined and smooth.
Step 2: Add mix-ins
If using, gently fold in the mini chocolate chips.
Step 3: Prepare the bites
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Drop spoonfuls of the mixture onto the parchment paper, creating bite-sized portions. Alternatively, use a mini muffin tin for a more uniform shape.
Step 4: Freeze
Place the baking sheet (or muffin tin) in the freezer for at least 2 hours, or until the bites are completely frozen and firm.
Step 5: Store
Once frozen, remove the bites from the parchment paper or muffin tin and transfer them to an airtight container or freezer bag. Store in the freezer for up to 2 months.
Chef’s Tip: For easier removal, let the bites sit at room temperature for a few minutes before serving for a slightly softer texture.
Tips for Success
* Use a good quality peanut butter for the best flavor.
* Don’t overmix the yogurt mixture, as this can result in a grainy texture.
* Make sure the bites are completely frozen before transferring them to a container for storage.
* If using a muffin tin, lightly grease it with cooking spray for easy removal.
Serving Suggestions
These Peanut Butter Greek Yogurt Freezer Bites are delicious on their own, but they also pair well with:
* A glass of cold milk or almond milk
