Ingredients (Scale It Your Way!)
Ingredients
-
1 cup Greek yogurt (plain or vanilla)
-
1/3 cup peanut butter (creamy or crunchy, at room temperature)
-
2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup (adjust to taste)
-
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Add-ins
-
1/3 cup mini chocolate chips (or chopped dark chocolate)
-
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon (optional)
-
1 tablespoon chia seeds or ground flaxseed (optional)
-
2 tablespoons chopped nuts (almonds, walnuts, or pecans, optional)
Instructions: Easy as Mix, Scoop, Freeze
1. Make the Base Mixture
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, peanut butter, honey or maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Stir until the mixture is smooth and well-blended.
2. Add the Fun Stuff
Fold in the mini chocolate chips and any of your chosen optional ingredients like cinnamon, chia seeds, or chopped nuts. These not only boost flavor and texture but also ramp up the nutritional value.
3. Scoop It Out
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Use a spoon or cookie scoop to drop small dollops (about 1 tablespoon each) of the mixture onto the sheet. They don’t need to be perfect—rustic is beautiful!
4. Freeze and Store
Place the tray in the freezer and chill for at least 2 hours or until the bites are firm. Once solid, transfer them to an airtight container and keep them stored in the freezer for quick, grab-and-go snacking.
