Ingredients
- 1 cup natural peanut butter (smooth or crunchy)
- 1 cup Greek yogurt (full-fat or low-fat)
- 1/4 cup honey or maple syrup
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup mini chocolate chips (optional, for topping)
Instructions
-
Prepare the Pan:
Line an 8×8-inch baking dish with parchment paper, leaving an overhang for easy removal. -
Mix the Base:
In a medium bowl, combine the peanut butter, Greek yogurt, honey (or maple syrup), and vanilla extract. Stir until well combined and smooth. -
Pour and Spread:
Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread it out evenly with a spatula. -
Add Toppings:
If you’re using chocolate chips, sprinkle them evenly over the top of the peanut butter yogurt mixture. -
Freeze:
Place the dish in the freezer and freeze for at least 4 hours, or until firm. -
Slice and Serve:
Once frozen, remove the dish from the freezer and lift the bars out using the parchment paper overhang. Cut the bars into squares or rectangles. -
Store:
Store the leftover bars in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 1-2 weeks.
Notes
- For added texture, you can mix in some crushed nuts, granola, or even a swirl of jam.
- If you want a firmer texture, you can add a tablespoon of cornstarch to the mixture before freezing.
- You can also substitute almond butter or cashew butter for the peanut butter if desired.
- If you prefer a sweeter treat, increase the amount of honey or maple syrup to taste.
