Frozen Greek Yogurt Peanut Butter Bites

Frozen Greek Yogurt Peanut Butter Bites make snack time exciting and wholesome. Creamy Greek yogurt blends with peanut butter and a touch of sweetener to create bites that taste indulgent but are packed with protein. I turn to these when I want something cool after a walk or need a grab and go treat for the whole family.

The first time I made these for a summer picnic they disappeared faster than I could refill the plate. Now I keep a stash in my freezer for busy afternoons or a post—dinner treat.

Ingredients

• Greek yogurt: Choose full fat or low fat for creaminess and the best flavor. Look for a brand with only milk and live cultures on the ingredient list
• Peanut butter: Either creamy or crunchy adds nuttiness and richness. Natural peanut butter with just peanuts and salt gives the purest taste
• Honey or maple syrup: Naturally sweetens each bite. Taste your yogurt first and use more or less depending on its tanginess
• Vanilla extract: Boosts flavor and rounds out the yogurt’s tart notes. Pure extract brings the best aroma
• Mini chocolate chips or chopped dark chocolate: Add a delight in every bite. Opt for chocolate with at least sixty percent cacao for richness
• Optional add ins: Cinnamon for warmth or a pinch of spice. Chia or flaxseed for fiber and texture. Chopped nuts for added crunch — almonds, walnuts or pecans all work well

Step-by-Step Instructions

Prepare Your Tray:

Line a baking sheet or tray with parchment paper making sure it fits comfortably in your freezer. This keeps the bites from sticking and makes cleanup easy.

Mix Yogurt and Peanut Butter:

In a medium bowl combine Greek yogurt, peanut butter, honey or maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Stir with a sturdy spoon until the mixture is completely smooth and uniform. Make sure you scrape the sides and bottom so no peanut butter streaks remain. If the mixture is very stiff add a small spoonful of yogurt or milk until you reach a thick but scoopable consistency.

Fold in Chocolate and Add ins:

Gently mix the mini chocolate chips or chopped chocolate into the base. If you are adding any extras like cinnamon, chia seeds or chopped nuts now is the time to evenly distribute them throughout the mixture.

Portion Onto Tray:

Use a tablespoon or small cookie scoop to make even mounds of the mixture and drop them onto the parchment lined tray. Space them apart so they do not freeze together. You can gently smooth the tops with a spoon for a prettier finish.

Freeze Until Firm:

Place the tray flat in your freezer and let the bites freeze for one to two hours until they are very firm to the touch. The freezing time will depend on the size you made them and your freezer’s settings.

Store for Later:

Transfer the frozen bites to a freezer safe container or zip top bag. If stacking add parchment between layers so they do not stick together. Seal tightly to protect from freezer burn and keep flavor fresh.

Enjoy Your Treats:

Eat the frozen bites straight from the freezer or let them sit out for a half minute to soften to the perfect creamy texture. They are great for a quick breakfast on the go or a protein packed snack.

Peanut butter is the standout for me. Every time I use fresh ground peanut butter the flavor is noticeably richer and has a deep roasted aroma. My kids love arguing over who gets the last bite because these never last long in our house.

Storage Tips

Freeze the bites as soon as they are portioned to avoid melting. Keep them sealed in an airtight container in the coldest part of your freezer for up to two months. Always press out extra air if using zip top bags to prevent ice crystals. Use parchment between layers if stacking to prevent sticking.

Ingredient Substitutions

Swap almond butter or sunflower seed butter for the peanut butter if allergies are a concern. You can use agave syrup or date syrup instead of honey or maple for another touch of sweetness. Chopped dried fruit or coconut flakes are delicious mixed in for added texture.

Serving Suggestions

Frozen Greek Yogurt Peanut Butter Bites are perfect right from the freezer but also work well chopped onto smoothie bowls or stirred into your morning oatmeal. Try drizzling with a little melted chocolate just before serving for an impressive snack tray.

Cultural Context

Combining yogurt with nuts and a natural sweetener is a long loved practice in Middle Eastern and Mediterranean cuisines. These bites are a modern take on the classic combination using accessible ingredients and the convenience of freezing for a cool snack.

Frozen Greek Yogurt Peanut Butter Bites are one of my most requested recipes because they are simple to make but full of flavor and nutrition. Whether you need an after school snack or a treat after dinner they fit every moment.
