Base:
- 2 cups Greek yogurt
- 1/2 cup natural peanut butter
- 1/4 cup honey or maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Optional Mix-Ins:
- 1/4 cup chocolate chips
- 1/4 cup chopped peanuts
- Prepare the Ingredients: Start by gathering all your ingredients. Make sure your Greek yogurt is at room temperature for easier mixing.
- Mix the Base: In a large bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, natural peanut butter, honey (or maple syrup), and vanilla extract. Stir until the mixture is smooth and well combined. The peanut butter should be fully incorporated into the yogurt.
- Add Mix-Ins: If using, fold in the chocolate chips and chopped peanuts. Mix gently to ensure they’re evenly distributed throughout the yogurt mixture.
- Pour into Mold: Line a loaf pan or an 8×8-inch baking dish with parchment paper, leaving some overhang on the sides for easy removal. Pour the yogurt mixture into the prepared pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
- Freeze: Cover the pan with plastic wrap or aluminum foil and place it in the freezer. Freeze for at least 4 hours, or until the mixture is firm. For best results, freeze overnight.
- Slice and Serve: Once the yogurt mixture is frozen solid, use the parchment paper to lift it out of the pan. Place it on a cutting board and slice it into bars. Serve immediately and enjoy your cool, creamy treat!
Notes
- You can customize these bars by adding your favorite mix-ins such as dried fruit, nuts, or granola.
- For a vegan version, use dairy-free yogurt and maple syrup as a sweetener.
