These creamy, no-bake frozen Peanut Butter Frozen Yogurt Bars are packed with peanut butter goodness and just the right amount of sweetness. They are a perfect balance of protein and flavor, making them a refreshing and nutritious snack for warm days.
Ingredients
(Tip: You’ll find the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)
For the Base:
1 ½ cups Greek yogurt (plain or vanilla)
½ cup peanut butter (creamy or crunchy)
¼ cup honey or maple syrup
1 tsp vanilla extract
¼ tsp salt
Toppings & Mix-ins (Optional):
¼ cup mini chocolate chips
¼ cup crushed peanuts
¼ cup granola for crunch
Directions
Mix the Ingredients – In a bowl, I whisk together Greek yogurt, peanut butter, honey, vanilla, and salt until smooth. If I want extra texture and flavor, I fold in mini chocolate chips, crushed peanuts, or granola.
Prepare the Pan – I line an 8×8-inch baking dish with parchment paper and pour in the yogurt mixture, spreading it evenly.
Freeze Until Firm – I cover the dish and freeze for at least 4 hours or until the mixture is completely solid.
Cut & Serve – Once frozen, I lift the yogurt block out of the pan and cut it into bars. They are ready to enjoy immediately or can be stored for later.
Servings and Timing
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Freeze Time: 4 hours
Servings: 8 bars
Variations
Chocolate Drizzle – I sometimes melt dark chocolate and drizzle it over the bars before freezing for an extra indulgent touch.
Crunchy Texture – Adding chopped almonds or pretzels on top gives them a satisfying crunch.
Dairy-Free Option – I substitute Greek yogurt with coconut yogurt for a dairy-free version.
Fruity Twist – Swirling in strawberry jam or mashed bananas before freezing adds natural sweetness and a refreshing flavor.
Storage/Reheating
I store these frozen yogurt bars in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 2 weeks. Since they are meant to be eaten frozen, there is no need to reheat them—just take one out and enjoy! If they are too firm straight from the freezer, I let them sit for a minute or two before eating.
FAQs
How do I prevent the bars from getting too hard in the freezer?
If the bars freeze too solid, I let them sit at room temperature for a few minutes before eating. Using full-fat Greek yogurt also helps keep them creamier.
Can I use sweetened yogurt instead of honey or maple syrup?
Yes, I can use sweetened yogurt and reduce or omit the honey or maple syrup to adjust the sweetness.
What’s the best way to cut the bars?
I use a sharp knife and sometimes run it under warm water before cutting to make slicing easier.
Can I add protein powder to these bars?
Yes, I mix a scoop of protein powder into the yogurt mixture for an extra protein boost.
Do these bars melt quickly?
Since they are primarily made of yogurt, they soften faster than store-bought ice cream bars. I eat them right away or keep them in the freezer until I’m ready to enjoy them.
Conclusion
These peanut butter frozen yogurt bars are an easy, healthy, and delicious treat that I love keeping on hand, especially in warm weather. With their creamy texture, natural sweetness, and customizable mix-ins, they are a satisfying snack or dessert that can be enjoyed guilt-free. Whether I go for a classic peanut butter flavor or experiment with fun add-ins, these bars never disappoint.
