# What You Need:

01 - 1½ cups plain Greek yogurt (nonfat or 2%)

03 - 3 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
04 - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

# How-To:
01 - Line a mini muffin tin or small silicone molds with paper liners, or lightly coat with nonstick spray.
02 - In a medium bowl, combine Greek yogurt, peanut butter, honey (or maple syrup), and vanilla extract. Stir until completely smooth and well incorporated.
03 - Spoon the mixture evenly into the prepared molds, filling each cavity about three-quarters full.
04 - Sprinkle desired toppings over each filled mold, gently pressing them into the surface so they adhere.
05 - Place the tin or molds in the freezer for at least 2 hours, or until the bites are completely firm.
06 - Remove the frozen bites from the molds and transfer to an airtight container. Store in the freezer and enjoy directly from frozen.
# Expert Tips:
01 -
- They taste like peanut butter cup ice cream but take almost zero effort to make.
- Each bite delivers five grams of protein, so you can snack without the guilt spiral.
- The recipe forgives almost every mistake and still turns out delicious.
02 -
- Use full fat or strained Greek yogurt because thinner yogurts create an icy texture rather than a creamy one.
- Let the bites sit at room temperature for two or three minutes before eating and the texture transforms from rock hard to perfect.
03 -
- Warm the peanut butter for fifteen seconds in the microwave so it stirs into the yogurt without clumping.
- Doubling the recipe is effortless and highly recommended because sixteen bites vanish shockingly fast.
