FAQ
Frozen Greek Yogurt Peanut Butter Bites Recipe Substitutions and Variations
- Greek Yogurt: You could use plain regular yogurt or even try a non-dairy option like coconut or almond yogurt if you cant find Greek
- Peanut Butter: Almond butter or cashew butter works well if you’re looking for a different nutty twist
- Honey or Maple Syrup: Agave nectar or date syrup makes a good substitute and gives a slightly different but tasty sweetness
- Mini Chocolate Chips: If you’re out of these you can chop up a regular chocolate bar or even try white chocolate chips for a cool change
Pro Tips
1. If you let your Greek yogurt sit out for a few minutes at room temp before mixing, it makes the peanut butter easier to blend in so you get a smoother mix.
2. Try stirring in the chocolate chips really gently, since being too rough might crush them and mess up that awesome chocolaty texture.
3. When you use an ice cube tray or silicone mold, dont be afraid to run a little water on it beforehand so the bites come out easier when you’re ready to eat ’em.
4. If your bites come out a bit too hard straight from the freezer, letting them sit out for like a minute can help them soften up just enough to be more enjoyable.
