6 Simple Ingredients
Unlike fancy store-bought yogurt bite options that can contain a million ingredients, additives, and extra sugar, this recipe utilizes simple, nutritious ingredients you probably already have on hand. Here’s what you need:
- Bananas – These form the bulk of the bites, adding texture and a sweet, fruity taste. For the best results, use bananas that are ripe but not mushy at all.
- Yogurt – We use plain Greek yogurt for a creamy texture and a boost of protein and probiotics.
- Honey – Use as little or as much as you’d like to sweeten the yogurt center. If preferred, maple syrup can be substituted.
- Chocolate Chips – Semi-sweet chocolate chips are melted to create a rich chocolate coating.
- Peanut Butter – Creamy peanut butter is added to the chocolate coating for a thicker texture and a rich, Reese’s-inspired taste.
- Coconut Oil – This helps thin out the chocolate making it spreadable and easier to coat the yogurt bites.
How to Make Homemade Frozen Yogurt Bites
While these yogurt bites do require a bit of planning to set, trust us, they’re super easy to make! Just a few simple steps and you’ll be well on your way to enjoying these delicious frozen treats.
- Create the Base. Stir the bananas, yogurt, and honey together in a medium bowl until they’re well combined.
- Set. Add 2 tablespoons of the yogurt mixture to a silicone-lined mini muffin tin. Place the tin in the freezer until the yogurt is solid.
- Prepare the Chocolate Coating. In a microwave-safe bowl, add the chocolate chips, peanut butter, and coconut oil. Microwave in 30-second increments until the ingredients are melted, stirring in between.
- Dip. Dip the yogurt bites into the warm chocolate mixture, coating both sides.
- Freeze. Place each bite on a
parchment paper -lined baking sheet. Sprinkle sea salt on top, and freeze again. Enjoy your yogurt bites cold once they’re solid!
Flavor Variations
As long as you’ve got the basic base of yogurt and fruit, there are endless ways to make these frozen yogurt bites! Here are some of our favorite ways to jazz Peanut Butter Banana Frozen Yogurt Bites:
- Swapping Out the Yogurt – Feel free to replace the plain Greek yogurt with any other sweetened or flavored yogurt you prefer. Adjust the honey to taste depending on how sweet you prefer your bites.
- Using Different or More Chocolate – If needed, opt for dairy-free chocolate chips. You can also swap them out with dark chocolate or white chocolate varieties. Or, add an extra drizzle on top once the chocolate coating has hardened.
- Replace the Peanut Butter – Replace the peanut butter with any other nut or seed butter you prefer. For instance, almond butter, cashew butter, or tahini would all work great.
- Add Granola – For a bit of crunch, stir a handful of your favorite granola into the yogurt mixture.
- Use a Different Fruit – Add to or replace the bananas with strawberries, blueberries, or raspberries for a unique taste.
- Include a Topping – We love the sweet and salty flavor created when adding sea salt on top of our bites. However, you could also use chopped nuts or unsweetened shredded coconut flakes.
