Ingredients

• 1 cup (240 g) plain Greek yogurt (full-fat or low-fat)
• ½ cup (120 g) creamy natural peanut butter
• 2 tablespoons (30 ml) honey (or maple syrup for vegan option)
• 2 tablespoons mini chocolate chips or chopped dark chocolate
• 1 tablespoon chia seeds
• ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
• Pinch of ground cinnamon
• 2 tablespoons mashed berries (e.g., strawberries or blueberries)
• 1 tablespoon crushed nuts or granola
• 2 tablespoons melted dark chocolate, for swirling or dipping

Instructions

Step 1

In a medium mixing bowl, combine Greek yogurt, peanut butter, and honey. Whisk until smooth and fully blended.

Step 2

If desired, stir in vanilla extract and/or cinnamon for added flavor.

Step 3

Line a mini-muffin tin or silicone mold with liners, or lightly grease if needed.

Step 4

Spoon about 1 tablespoon of the mixture into each cavity.

Step 5

Top with mini chocolate chips, chia seeds, or other optional add-ins as desired.

Step 6

For a chocolate swirl, drizzle a small amount of melted dark chocolate over each portion and swirl gently with a toothpick.

Step 7

Place the tray in the freezer and freeze for at least 2 hours, or until fully solid.

Step 8

To serve, run warm water briefly over the bottom of the tray to help release the bites. Transfer bites to a freezer-safe bag or container for storage.

Step 9

Enjoy directly from the freezer. For best texture, let sit at room temperature for 2 minutes before eating.

Zusatztipps für die Zubereitung

Using a silicone mold is highly recommended as it allows the frozen bites to pop out effortlessly. If using a standard metal muffin tin, be sure to use liners to prevent sticking. Ensure you whisk the base ingredients until completely smooth to achieve a consistent, creamy texture in every bite.

Varianten und Anpassungen

You can easily substitute almond or cashew butter for peanut butter to vary the flavor. For a fruity twist, fold in mashed berries like strawberries or blueberries before portioning into the tray. For extra crunch, mix in some granola or crushed nuts, or dip the finished frozen bites into melted dark chocolate for an indulgent finish.
