Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 2 cups plain Greek yogurt (or any yogurt of your choice)
  • ½ cup creamy peanut butter (or almond butter)
  • ¼ cup honey or maple syrup (adjust to taste)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt

Toppings

  • ¼ cup mini chocolate chips
  • ¼ cup chopped nuts (e.g., almonds, walnuts, or peanuts)
  • Fresh fruit (e.g., sliced bananas or strawberries)

Instructions

  1. Mix the Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, creamy peanut butter, honey (or maple syrup), vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Stir until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
  2. Taste and Adjust: Taste the yogurt-peanut butter mixture and adjust the sweetness by adding more honey or maple syrup if desired.
  3. Line the Pan: Line an 8×8-inch square baking dish or a similar-sized pan with parchment paper, making sure to leave some overhang on the sides to make removal easier.
  4. Spread the Mixture: Pour the yogurt mixture into the prepared pan and evenly spread it out using a spatula.
  5. Add Toppings: Sprinkle mini chocolate chips, chopped nuts, and fresh fruit slices on top of the yogurt mixture, gently pressing them in so they stick.
  6. Freeze: Place the pan in the freezer and allow it to freeze for at least 3 to 4 hours until the mixture is completely firm.
  7. Cut into Bars: Once frozen solid, use the parchment paper overhang to lift the block out of the pan. Cut into squares or rectangles using a sharp knife.
  8. Enjoy: Serve the frozen peanut butter yogurt bars immediately or store them in an airtight container in the freezer for later snacking.

Notes

  • You can substitute almond butter or any other nut butter for peanut butter if preferred.
  • Adjust the sweetness according to your taste by increasing or decreasing the honey or maple syrup.
  • Use any fruit toppings you like; berries, bananas, or kiwi work particularly well.
  • Store leftover bars in the freezer for up to 2 weeks for best freshness.
  • For a dairy-free option, use a plant-based yogurt alternative.
