Description
This High Protein Peanut Butter Yogurt Bark is a creamy, no-bake frozen snack made with thick Greek yogurt, a peanut butter swirl, and crunchy toppings. It is sweet, satisfying, and perfect for meal prep, post-workout bites, or a healthy dessert straight from the freezer.
Ingredients
Greek yogurt (plain or vanilla), 2 cups (480 g)
Honey (or maple syrup), 2 tbsp (30 g)
Vanilla extract, 1 tsp (5 ml)
Natural creamy peanut butter, 1/3 cup (80 g)
Dark chocolate chips, 1/4 cup (45 g)
Chopped peanuts (optional), 2 tbsp (15 g)
Chia seeds (optional), 1 tbsp (10 g)
Flaky sea salt (optional), 1 pinch
Instructions
1. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper (aim for an 8 x 10 inch area for thicker bark).
2. In a bowl, stir Greek yogurt, honey, and vanilla until smooth and glossy.
3. Spread the yogurt into an even layer about 1/4 inch thick.
4. Warm the peanut butter for 10 to 15 seconds until pourable, then drizzle over the yogurt.
5. Use a knife or skewer to gently swirl the peanut butter into the yogurt (do not overmix).
6. Sprinkle chocolate chips and any optional toppings evenly over the surface.
7. Freeze uncovered until completely solid, at least 3 hours.
8. Lift the bark from the pan and break into 12 pieces. Store frozen in an airtight container.
Notes
Best texture tip: Let the bark sit at room temperature for 2 to 3 minutes before eating so it is creamy, not rock hard.
Yogurt choice: Thick Greek yogurt reduces iciness. Nonfat yogurt works but freezes firmer.
Peanut butter: Natural peanut butter (peanuts + salt) swirls best. Warm briefly to make it drizzleable.
Storage: Keep pieces in a freezer container with parchment between layers to prevent sticking.
Swaps: Use sunflower seed butter for nut-free. Use maple syrup for a vegan-friendly sweetener when paired with dairy-free yogurt.
