Description

These Healthy Peanut Butter Frozen Yogurt Bars are a delicious and nutritious treat that you’ll crave every day. Made with creamy Greek yogurt, natural peanut butter, and a touch of honey or maple syrup, these bars are a perfect balance of sweet and tangy. Added mini chocolate chips and crunchy granola or crushed peanuts provide delightful texture and extra flavor. Easy to prepare and requiring no baking, these bars are a refreshing, protein-packed snack or dessert that can be enjoyed guilt-free.


Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 2 cups plain Greek yogurt (full-fat or 2%)
  • ½ cup natural peanut butter (smooth or creamy)
  • 3 tablespoons honey or pure maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Optional Add-ins and Toppings

  • 2–3 tablespoons mini chocolate chips (optional)
  • ¼ cup granola or crushed peanuts (optional topping)


Instructions

  1. Line the Pan: Line an 8×8-inch pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides. This will make it easier to lift the frozen bars out once set.
  2. Mix the Base: In a mixing bowl, combine the plain Greek yogurt, natural peanut butter, honey (or pure maple syrup), and vanilla extract. Stir thoroughly until the mixture is smooth and uniformly blended.
  3. Add Chocolate Chips: If using mini chocolate chips, gently fold them into the yogurt mixture to evenly distribute without melting them.
  4. Spread and Smooth: Pour the yogurt and peanut butter mixture into the prepared pan. Use a spatula to spread it evenly across the surface, smoothing the top as much as possible.
  5. Add Toppings: Sprinkle granola or crushed peanuts evenly over the top. Press them gently into the surface to help them stick as the bars freeze.
  6. Freeze: Place the pan in the freezer and freeze for at least 3 hours, or until the mixture is firm to the touch and fully set.
  7. Slice and Serve: Once frozen, lift the bars out of the pan using the parchment paper overhang. Let them rest at room temperature for 2–3 minutes to soften slightly, then slice into 9 to 12 squares. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Notes

  • For a lower sugar option, reduce the honey or maple syrup to 2 tablespoons or use a natural sweetener of your choice.
  • Full-fat Greek yogurt provides creamier texture, but 2% works well too.
  • You can replace peanut butter with almond or cashew butter for a different flavor.
  • Store leftover bars in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 2 weeks.
  • Let bars sit for a few minutes at room temperature before slicing to avoid cracking.
  • Feel free to customize toppings with seeds, dried fruit, or coconut flakes.
