High Protein Peanut Butter Yogurt Bites (Print)
Creamy frozen yogurt bites with peanut butter, packed with protein and perfect for healthy snacking.
# What You Need:
→ Base
01 - 2 cups plain Greek yogurt (0% or 2% fat)
02 - 1/2 cup natural peanut butter (smooth or crunchy)
03 - 3 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
04 - 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
→ Topping
05 - 1/3 cup dark chocolate chips (optional)
06 - 2 tablespoons crushed peanuts (optional)
→ Lining
07 - Paper mini muffin liners or silicone molds
# How To Make It:
01 - Line a mini muffin tin with paper liners or arrange silicone candy molds on a flat tray for easy release.
02 - In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, peanut butter, honey or maple syrup, and vanilla extract until the mixture is completely smooth and uniform in consistency.
03 - Using a small spoon or cookie scoop, portion approximately 1 tablespoon of the yogurt mixture into each liner or mold, filling evenly.
04 - If desired, sprinkle dark chocolate chips and crushed peanuts over the top of each filled mold, pressing gently to adhere.
05 - Place the tray in the freezer for at least 2 hours, or until the bites are completely firm and frozen through.
06 - Remove from the freezer and let sit at room temperature for 2–3 minutes before serving for the best creamy texture.
# Expert Advice:
01 -
- Each bite packs over four grams of protein, so you can eat six and feel zero regret about your life choices.
- The texture straight from the freezer is impossibly creamy, almost like ice cream meets fudge, and it costs roughly nothing to make a whole batch.
02 -
- If your peanut butter is stiff and cold, microwave it for fifteen seconds before mixing or you will be stirring lumps forever and wondering what went wrong.
- Do not skip the liners or silicone molds because these will fuse to bare metal and you will end up scraping frozen yogurt out of a pan with a butter knife like some kind of animal.
03 -
- A cookie scoop fills the molds faster and more evenly than a spoon ever will, and it makes you feel like a professional even though you are standing in your kitchen at midnight making yogurt bites.
- The single best upgrade is using silicone molds instead of paper liners because the shape comes out flawless and you never lose half the bite to a stubborn paper wrapper.
