Can I make No-Bake Peanut Butter Yogurt Cups without chocolate?

Yes. The cups will still freeze well, though the chocolate adds structure and flavor contrast.

Are these yogurt cups good for kids?

Absolutely. They are naturally sweetened and easy to portion for lunches or snacks.

Can I use flavored yogurt?

You can, but plain yogurt gives you better control over sweetness and protein content.

How much protein is in each cup?

Each cup contains approximately 8 to 10 grams of protein depending on yogurt brand.

Do they melt quickly?

They soften like ice cream but hold their shape better due to the peanut butter and yogurt combo.

Instructions

1. Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or use silicone muffin cups.

2. In a bowl, stir Greek yogurt, peanut butter, honey or maple syrup, and vanilla until completely smooth. Taste and adjust sweetness if needed.

3. Spoon the filling evenly into the 12 cups (about 2 tbsp each) and smooth the tops.

4. Add chocolate chips and coconut oil to a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 20-second bursts, stirring between each, until glossy and melted.

5. Spoon about 1 tsp melted chocolate over each cup and gently tilt to spread into a thin layer.

6. Freeze for 2 to 3 hours, or until fully firm.

7. Pop out of the molds, peel liners if used, and enjoy. Let sit at room temperature 2 minutes for the creamiest bite.

Notes

Best yogurt choice: Thick plain Greek yogurt gives the creamiest texture and prevents iciness.

Peanut butter tip: Use natural peanut butter made from peanuts and salt for the cleanest flavor and best set.

Chocolate layer: Keep it thin for an easy bite and quick freeze.

Storage: Keep cups in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 2 months.

Substitutions: Use almond butter or sunflower seed butter for a peanut-free option. Use thick coconut yogurt and maple syrup for dairy-free.

Protein boost: Stir in 1 to 2 tbsp protein powder if you want an even higher protein snack.
