Ingredients
  

2 cups plain Greek yogurt

1/2 cup creamy peanut butter (choose natural for a cleaner taste)

1/4 cup honey or maple syrup (adjust for sweetness)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/4 teaspoon sea salt

1/2 cup mini chocolate chips (optional for garnish)

1/2 cup crushed nuts or granola (optional for texture)

Instructions
 

Mix the Base: In a mixing bowl, combine the plain Greek yogurt, creamy peanut butter, honey (or maple syrup), vanilla extract, and sea salt. Use a whisk or an electric mixer on low speed to blend until the mixture is smooth and creamy.

    Taste Test: Before moving on, take a small taste of the mixture. Adjust the sweetness if needed by adding more honey or maple syrup.

      Prepare the Cups: Grab a muffin tin and line it with silicone or paper cupcake liners for easy removal. If you don’t have liners, lightly grease the cups with a non-stick spray.

        Fill the Cups: Spoon the peanut butter yogurt mixture evenly into the prepared cups, filling each one about 2/3 full.

          Add Toppings: If desired, sprinkle mini chocolate chips, crushed nuts, or granola on top of each cup for added flavor and crunch.

            Freeze: Carefully transfer the muffin tin to the freezer and freeze for at least 4-6 hours, or until the yogurt cups are fully set.

              Serve: Once frozen solid, remove the cups from the muffin tin by pulling on the liners or gently loosening the edges with a butter knife. If they’re difficult to remove, let them sit at room temperature for a couple of minutes to soften slightly.

                Enjoy: Serve immediately as a refreshing treat. These can be stored in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 2 weeks. Enjoy them straight from the freezer for a creamy, peanut buttery delight with every bite!
