Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 cup Greek yogurt (full-fat for extra creaminess)
- ½ cup peanut butter (natural, creamy, or chunky)
- ¼ cup honey or maple syrup (for natural sweetness)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (for a dessert-like flavor)
Optional Add-ins
- ¼ cup mini chocolate chips (optional, but highly recommended!)
- ¼ cup chopped peanuts (optional, for extra crunch)
Instructions
- Prepare the mixture: In a bowl, whisk together Greek yogurt, peanut butter, honey or maple syrup, and vanilla extract until smooth and well combined, ensuring a creamy texture for the bars.
- Add texture: If desired, stir in mini chocolate chips and chopped peanuts to add extra flavor and crunch to the mixture.
- Line the dish: Line an 8×8-inch baking dish with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides to make removal of the frozen bars easier.
- Spread the mixture: Pour the prepared yogurt mixture into the parchment-lined dish and spread it evenly with a spatula for uniform thickness.
- Freeze the bars: Place the dish in the freezer for at least 4 hours, or until the bars are completely firm and set.
- Cut and serve: Once frozen, use the parchment paper overhang to lift the solid block out of the dish, then cut into bars of your preferred size.
- Store leftovers: Serve immediately or store any leftover bars in an airtight container in the freezer for later enjoyment.
Notes
- For creamier bars, use full-fat Greek yogurt.
- You can substitute the honey with maple syrup to make it vegan-friendly.
- The optional chocolate chips and chopped peanuts add texture but can be omitted for a simpler bar.
- Bars can be stored in the freezer for up to 2 weeks.
- Use parchment paper to prevent sticking and for easier removal of the bars from the dish.
