1/4 cup unsweetened almond milk
04 -
1/4 cup pure maple syrup
05 -
1 tsp vanilla extract
→ Decadent Peanut Butter Swirl
06 -
1/2 cup natural creamy peanut butter
07 -
2 tbsp pure maple syrup
08 -
1 tbsp melted coconut oil
09 -
1/4 tsp fine sea salt
→ Crunchy & Sweet Toppings
10 -
1/4 cup mini dark chocolate chips
11 -
2 tbsp chopped dry-roasted peanuts
12 -
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
→ Optional Flavor Boosters
13 -
1/4 tsp almond extract
14 -
Pinch of flaky sea salt, for garnish
# Instructions:
01 -
In a separate microwave-safe bowl, combine 1/2 cup natural creamy peanut butter, 2 tbsp pure maple syrup, 1 tbsp melted coconut oil, and 1/4 tsp fine sea salt. Microwave for 15-30 seconds, or until just warm and stirrable. Whisk until completely smooth and well combined.
02 -
Line a large baking sheet (approximately 9x13 inches or similar) with parchment paper or a silicone mat. This will prevent sticking and make it easy to remove your High Protein Frozen Peanut Butter Greek Yogurt Bites once frozen. Ensure the paper extends slightly over the edges.
03 -
Pour the prepared yogurt base onto the lined baking sheet. Use an offset spatula or the back of a spoon to spread it evenly into a thin layer, about 1/4 to 1/2 inch thick. Aim for a consistent thickness across the entire sheet for uniform bites.
04 -
Drizzle the peanut butter mixture over the yogurt layer in lines or dollops. Use a knife or skewer to gently swirl the peanut butter into the yogurt, creating an attractive marbled pattern. Be careful not to mix too thoroughly.
05 -
Evenly sprinkle 1/4 cup mini dark chocolate chips, 2 tbsp chopped dry-roasted peanuts, and 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon over the swirled yogurt. If desired, add a pinch of flaky sea salt for an extra flavor pop on your High Protein Frozen Peanut Butter Greek Yogurt Bites.
06 -
Carefully transfer the baking sheet to the freezer. Freeze for at least 2-3 hours, or until the yogurt mixture is completely solid and firm. This ensures the bites will hold their shape when cut.
07 -
Once frozen, remove the sheet from the freezer. Lift the parchment paper to transfer the frozen slab to a cutting board. Using a sharp knife, cut the slab into 16 individual bites or desired shapes. Serve immediately or store.
# Notes:
01 -
Store leftover bites in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 2-3 weeks. They are best enjoyed straight from the freezer.
02 -
Feel free to experiment with different protein powder flavors (e.g., chocolate), nut butters (almond butter), or toppings (shredded coconut, other nuts).
03 -
For a creamier, less icy bite, allow them to sit at room temperature for 2-3 minutes before serving.
04 -
To make these bites vegan, ensure your protein powder is plant-based and use a plant-based Greek yogurt alternative.
