Ingredients

• 1/2 cup full-fat Greek yogurt
• 1/4 cup powdered peanut butter (such as PB Fit, PB2, or similar)
• 1 tablespoon creamy peanut butter
• 1/2 tablespoon maple syrup
• 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips (such as Lily’s)

Instructions

1. Step 1: In a bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, powdered peanut butter, creamy peanut butter, and maple syrup. Mix well until smooth and fully blended.
2. Step 2: Line a small baking dish or tray with parchment paper and spread the yogurt mixture evenly over the surface. Place in the freezer for at least 2 hours, or until firm.
3. Step 3: While the mixture is freezing, melt the dark chocolate chips and coconut oil together in a microwave-safe bowl in 20-second intervals, stirring between each until smooth.
4. Step 4: Once the frozen peanut butter base is solid, remove it from the freezer and drizzle the melted chocolate over the top. Sprinkle with flaky sea salt if desired.
5. Step 5: Return the dish to the freezer for an additional 10-15 minutes to allow the chocolate to set. Cut into bars or squares and serve immediately or store frozen.

Tips & Variations

• For extra crunch, sprinkle chopped nuts or granola on top before the final freeze.
• Use natural peanut butter for a less sweet, more robust peanut flavor.
• Swap maple syrup for honey or agave syrup if preferred.
• Add a pinch of cinnamon or vanilla extract to the yogurt mixture for added warmth and depth.

Storage

Store the frozen peanut butter bars in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 2 weeks. To enjoy, remove from the freezer and let sit at room temperature for a few minutes before eating for easier cutting and better texture.

How to Serve

FAQs

Can I use regular peanut butter instead of powdered peanut butter?

Yes, but keep in mind this may change the texture and reduce the overall protein content. You might need to reduce the amount of creamy peanut butter to balance the consistency.

Is this recipe suitable for diabetics?

This recipe uses natural sweeteners and dark chocolate, but it still contains sugar. If you have diabetes, consider using a sugar-free sweetener and sugar-free chocolate chips, and consult your healthcare provider.

Ingredients

Scale 1x2x3x

Base Ingredients

• 1/2 cup full-fat Greek yogurt
• 1/4 cup powdered peanut butter (such as PB Fit or PB2)
• 1 tablespoon creamy peanut butter
• 1/2 tablespoon maple syrup

Toppings and Mix-ins

• 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips (such as Lily’s)
• 1 teaspoon coconut oil
• Flaky sea salt for topping (optional)

Instructions

1. Mix the Peanut Butter Base: In a mixing bowl, combine the full-fat Greek yogurt, powdered peanut butter, creamy peanut butter, and maple syrup. Stir until the mixture is smooth and fully blended, ensuring the peanut butter is well incorporated.
2. Melt the Chocolate Mixture: In a small saucepan or microwave-safe bowl, gently melt the dark chocolate chips with the coconut oil until smooth, stirring frequently to prevent burning.
3. Combine and Layer: Pour half of the peanut butter yogurt mixture into a suitable container for freezing. Drizzle half of the melted dark chocolate mixture over the peanut butter layer. Repeat with the remaining peanut butter mixture and chocolate on top to create layers.
4. Freeze: Place the container in the freezer and allow the mixture to freeze for at least 3 hours, or until firm enough to scoop.
5. Serve: Once frozen, scoop portions onto serving dishes. Optionally, sprinkle with flaky sea salt to enhance the flavor before serving.

Notes

• Use full-fat Greek yogurt for optimal creaminess and flavor.
• Powdered peanut butter reduces fat content while maintaining peanut flavor.
• Maple syrup adds subtle sweetness; you can substitute with honey if desired.
• For a vegan version, substitute Greek yogurt with a plant-based yogurt and use vegan chocolate chips.
• Adjust the amount of flaky sea salt to taste for balance with sweet flavors.
• Store leftover frozen peanut butter in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 2 weeks.
