Frozen Greek Yogurt Peanut Butter Bites for a Quick No Bake Snack

13 décembre 2025 par Chef Hanna Zest

These frozen bites are a perfect grab and go snack when you are short on time and want something satisfying. They take minutes to mix and a couple of hours to freeze so you can prep ahead and forget about them. The recipe uses simple pantry staples and fits into most busy routines. Try a variation inspired by other quick treats like easy Greek olive tapenade to mix up snack prep.

Why This Recipe Works

This recipe balances protein, healthy fats, and just enough sweetness to feel like a treat without being heavy. Greek yogurt keeps the bites creamy and adds a boost of protein that helps them satisfy until your next meal. Peanut butter provides richness and texture while the honey or maple syrup ties the flavors together and helps the bites freeze with a pleasant chew. Vanilla and a pinch of salt elevate the taste so every bite tastes intentional despite the minimal effort. You can fold in mini chocolate chips or chopped nuts for texture without adding extra steps. For a playful contrast of textures try a soft frozen center with crunchy nut bits like in some handheld desserts such as Hawaiian butter mochi.

Flavor and Texture

Expect creamy, slightly tangy yogurt layered with the nutty warmth of peanut butter. The honey or maple syrup gives a gentle sweetness that keeps the overall flavor clean rather than cloying. Freezing firms the mixture into bite size morsels that soften quickly in your mouth. Adding mini chocolate chips introduces small bursts of cocoa that play well against the yogurt tang. If you use crushed nuts the bites gain a pleasant crunch without overwhelming the smooth base.

Ingredients

– 1 cup Greek yogurt
– 1/2 cup peanut butter
– 1/4 cup honey or maple syrup
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
– Pinch of salt
– Mini chocolate chips or crushed nuts (optional)

Step by Step Instructions

1. In a bowl, mix together Greek yogurt, peanut butter, honey (or maple syrup), vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt until smooth.
2. If desired, fold in mini chocolate chips or crushed nuts for added texture.
3. Spoon the mixture into silicone molds or on a lined baking sheet to form small bites.
4. Freeze for at least 2 hours, or until solid.
5. Once frozen, remove from molds and store in an airtight container in the freezer. Enjoy these bites as a healthy snack any time!

Quick Tips and Shortcuts

Use room temperature peanut butter so it mixes smoothly with the cold yogurt and you avoid lumps. Silicone molds speed removal and make the bites uniform in size which helps with portion control. If you are really pressed for time, spread the mixture on a lined baking sheet and cut small squares after freezing instead of filling molds. Swap honey for maple syrup to make them vegan friendly if you use plant based yogurt. Keep a small scoop handy to portion quickly and keep your fingers clean.

Storage and Meal Prep

Store the frozen bites in a single layer first so they do not stick together, then stack with parchment or wax paper in between layers. Use an airtight freezer container to prevent freezer burn and keep them tasting fresh. They make a great make ahead snack for a week or longer depending on your freezer, and they are easy to portion into lunch boxes. Defrost for a few minutes at room temperature before serving if you want a softer texture.

Short Closing Note
