Ingredients
Scale
Base 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
Toppings (Optional)
- 1/4 cup mini chocolate chips
Instructions
- Prepare the Pan: Line an 8×8-inch baking dish with parchment paper, leaving an overhang to easily lift out the frozen bars later.
- Mix the Base: In a medium-sized bowl, combine the natural peanut butter, Greek yogurt, honey (or maple syrup), and vanilla extract. Stir until the mixture is smooth and well blended.
- Pour and Spread: Transfer the peanut butter and yogurt mixture into the prepared baking dish. Use a spatula to spread it out evenly to ensure uniform bars once frozen.
- Add Toppings: If desired, sprinkle mini chocolate chips evenly over the top of the mixture for added texture and flavor.
- Freeze: Place the baking dish in the freezer and allow it to freeze for at least 4 hours or until the mixture is fully firm.
- Slice and Serve: Once frozen, use the parchment paper overhang to lift the entire block out of the dish. Cut into squares or rectangles to serve.
- Store: Keep any leftover bars stored in an airtight container in the freezer, where they will stay fresh for 1 to 2 weeks.
Notes
- You can substitute maple syrup with honey or any liquid sweetener of your choice.
- Choose either full-fat or low-fat Greek yogurt depending on your preference for creaminess or calorie content.
- Adding chocolate chips is optional but adds a nice chocolatey crunch.
- If you prefer a vegan version, use a dairy-free yogurt alternative and maple syrup instead of honey.
- Make sure to use natural peanut butter with no added sugar or oils for a cleaner taste.
- Bars are best enjoyed straight from the freezer for a firm texture.
