Ingredients

  • 1 cup plain Greek yogurt (full-fat for creamier bites, or low-fat for fewer calories)
  • ½ cup creamy peanut butter (natural, without additives)
  • 2 tablespoons honey (or maple syrup for a vegan option)
  • Optional: chocolate chips (mini or chopped)
  • Optional: chia seeds
  • Optional: ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Optional: a pinch of cinnamon

Instructions

  1. Step 1: In a bowl, mix the Greek yogurt, peanut butter, and honey together until smooth. Add vanilla extract or cinnamon if using.
  2. Step 2: Spoon about 1 tablespoon of the mixture into each cavity of a mini-muffin tin or silicone mold.
  3. Step 3: Press in a few mini chocolate chips or sprinkle chia seeds on top if desired.
  4. Step 4: Place the tray in the freezer for at least 2 hours until the bites are solid.
  5. Step 5: To remove bites, run warm water over the bottom of the mold briefly. Transfer the bites to a freezer-safe bag and store in the freezer.

Tips & Variations

  • Try melting 2 tablespoons of dark chocolate and drizzling it into the mixture before freezing for a chocolate swirl effect.
  • Stir in 2 tablespoons of mashed berries like strawberries or blueberries for a fruity twist and pretty color.
  • Add 1 tablespoon of crushed nuts or granola for a crunchy texture contrast.
  • Swap peanut butter for almond or cashew butter if you prefer, though peanut butter delivers the creamiest results.

Storage

Store the bites in a labeled freezer-safe bag, pressing out extra air. They keep well for up to 2 weeks. To enjoy, eat them straight from the freezer or let sit for a minute to soften slightly. No reheating necessary—these bites are best served frozen.

How to Serve

Each bite is smooth on the outside with a soft, slightly textured inside visible where one bite is missing, showing a dense and moist cookie dough layer. The chocolate chips are irregularly scattered inside and on top, adding rough, shiny dark brown spots to the light beige surface. The cookies are grouped closely together on a white marbled surface. photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

FAQs

Can I use flavored Greek yogurt instead of plain?

Plain Greek yogurt works best for controlling sweetness and flavor, but you can try flavored varieties if you prefer. Just reduce added sweeteners to avoid overly sweet bites.

Can I make these without peanut butter?

Yes, you can substitute almond or cashew butter, but expect a different texture and taste. Peanut butter provides creaminess and protein that’s hard to match.
